Package: libdvdnav4
Version: 5.0.1-1~bpo70+1
libdvdnav4 version 5.0.1 from Debian 7 wheezy-backports is not
compatible with mplayer2 from Debian 7 wheezy. mplayer2 shows the error
message:
mplayer: error while loading shared libraries: libdvdnavmini.so.4:
cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory
Tested versions:
libdvdnav4 5.0.1-1~bpo70+1 wheezy-backports
mplayer2 2.0-554-gf63dbad-1+deb7u1 oldstable
This bug has been discussed before
<https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=774075>, and it was
solved by adding a rule to prevent installing an incompatible version of
libdvdnav4.
For unknown reasons, this rule was deleted later, and only the rules
"breaks mplayer/mencoder" are still there. These rules were introduced
in bug report #759199.
But recently libdvdnav4 5.0.1 was released in wheezy-backports, and it
still is incompatible with mplayer2 from wheezy.
libdvdnav4 version 5 does work with mplayer2 from Debian 8 Jessie.
Fortunately, the old workaround of creating a symbolic link still works:
~# cd /usr/lib/i386-linux-gnu/
/usr/lib/i386-linux-gnu# ln -s libdvdnav.so.4 libdvdnavmini.so.4
