Public bug reported:
Amarok 2.8 in (K)Ubuntu trusty is unable to transcode files before
copying them to an iPod.
When running amarok, on console we get the following error:
"amarok: [CollectionLocation] FFmpeg is not installed or does not support any
of the required formats. "
As there is no more ffmpeg packages on Ubuntu, we can't install it to fix the
problem this way.
I tried to make a symbolic link of avconv to ffmpeg (ln -s /usr/bin/avconv
/usr/bin/ffmpeg) but that doesn't fix the problem.
I've also installed the following packages:

Hopping that will fix the problem, but it still happen.
The step to reproduce are simple:
1) install amarok (2.8)
2) Put in your local collection somes audios file in flac/ogg/..
3) Try to copy flac/ogg/.. on a device (like iPod) which need transcoding.
4) You get the error message.
