Binary package hint: ffmpeg

On Jaunty, when I run ffserver I get this error:

This seems to have been addressed in Debian at some point: http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=501002

Ok, sorry, there it is:

ii ffmpeg 3:0.svn20090303-1ubuntu1 multimedia player, server and encoder
ii libavcodec-unstripped-52 3:0.svn20090303-1ubuntu1+unstripped1 ffmpeg codec library
ii libavdevice-unstripped-52 3:0.svn20090303-1ubuntu1+unstripped1 ffmpeg device handling library
ii libavfilter-unstripped-0 3:0.svn20090303-1ubuntu1+unstripped1 ffmpeg video filtering library
ii libavformat-unstripped-52 3:0.svn20090303-1ubuntu1+unstripped1 ffmpeg file format library
ii libavutil-unstripped-49 3:0.svn20090303-1ubuntu1+unstripped1 ffmpeg utility library

I think that's all.

[Reinhard Tartler (siretart)]

I can reproduce this bug.

workaround:
sudo mv /usr/lib/i686/cmov/libavformat.so.52 /usr/lib/i686/cmov/libavformat.so.52.disabled

[Reinhard Tartler (siretart)]

ffmpeg-debian (3:0.svn20090303-1ubuntu3) jaunty; urgency=low

  * don't disable ffserver in specialised flavors. Fixes LP: #345370
