[karmic] libcv-dev dependency problems

[Terrax]

Binary package hint: libcv-dev

Hello

I can't install the libcv-dev package because of dependency problems and conflicts.
If I want to install the package libavcodec-unstripped-52 has to be uninstalled first.

It happens on an updated Kubuntu/Ubuntu Jaunty.

Thanks for looking into it.

I forgot to tell, that this probably only happens if you have the ubuntu-restricted-extras or kubuntu-restricted-extras installed.

I have the same problem in either Intrepid or Jaunty. The package libcv-dev depends on libhighgui-dev that depends on libavcodec-dev. The later depends on libavcodec52 that conflicts with libavcodec-unstripped-52.

[ticket (tickettothemoon2004)]

Same problem here. Intrepid 8.04.
Problem affects compilation of the frei0r video effects plugins used by many Linux video editors (e.g Open Movie Editor).

Also note this from http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1022415
" ...I need to have libhighgui-dev (and the other OpenCV packages) installed for my work as a student, developing vision algorithms. These depend on libavcodec-dev, among others. Which depends on libavcodec, the stripped version. Which nerfs my ffmpeg to the point that it won't convert much of anything at all."

i.e. this dependency bug stops simultaneous use of ffmpeg and OpenCV, and affects all other video processing software.
