Thank you for the suggestion.  I was completely unaware of "apt-listbugs".

I have just re-titled and changed the severity of this bug.

Great, it can help other users to avoid the upgrade if they want to.

    Due to the large dependencies, it is probably very difficult to
downgrade digikam to a version with video support once 4:7.7.0-1
is installed. I did not try for now.

I haven't tried either, so I don't know.  Maybe one can just pull the packages
from the last stable release?  Build the 7.6 source package ?

I would say that there may well be others in your situation so if you do find a
method please report back to this bug.

Reading bug reports (in particular [1] and [2]), the root cause comes from
the ffmpeg transition in Debian. Trying to reverse this would be very
difficult leading to lots of downgrade of other packages (going back to
stable versions).

I'm also afraid that the older digikam would run with a upgraded
database. I'm not sure this won't corrupt some internal tables...

If I've time, I would probably try to build local ffmpeg4 packages
(or to install previous one if they are coinstallable) and rebuild
digikam with ffmpeg4. Of cause, this would be a local workaround,
not something sutable for Debian.

  Thanks for your work on digikam packaging

  Vincent
