Thank you SWK.
Both those commands do nothing and purging libavdevice52 didn't give me
the version I need, and now I'm unable to install even it again? I get
this error message from synaptic:
libavcodec52:
Depends: libavutil50 (<4:0.6.2-99) but 5:0.7.1-0.1 is to be installed
or libavutil-extra-50 (<4:0.6.2-99) but it is not installable
This from aptitude:
~# aptitude install libavcodec52
The following NEW packages will be installed:
libavcodec52{b}
0 packages upgraded, 1 newly installed, 0 to remove and 0 not upgraded.
Need to get 4,629 kB of archives. After unpacking 10.4 MB will be used.
The following packages have unmet dependencies:
libavcodec52: Depends: libavutil50 (< 4:0.6.2-99) but 5:0.7.1-0.1 is
installed. or libavutil-extra-50 (< 4:0.6.2-99) which is a virtual
package. Depends: libx264-116 but it is not going to be installed.
The following actions will resolve these dependencies:
Keep the following packages at their current version:
1) libavcodec52 [Not Installed]
Then tried this:
~# aptitude install libavutil-extra-50
No candidate version found for libavutil-extra-50
No candidate version found for libavutil-extra-50
No packages will be installed, upgraded, or removed.
0 packages upgraded, 0 newly installed, 0 to remove and 0 not upgraded.
Need to get 0 B of archives. After unpacking 0 B will be used.
Then tried this:
~# aptitude install libavutil50
No packages will be installed, upgraded, or removed.
0 packages upgraded, 0 newly installed, 0 to remove and 0 not upgraded.
Need to get 0 B of archives. After unpacking 0 B will be used.
No joy I'm afraid.
