Oneiric: error while loading shared libraries: libmp4v2.so.0

[Shouri Chatterjee]

Easytag does not start because it somehow depends on libmp4v2.so.0.
libmp4v2 has been taken off the oneiric repositories! The dependancy is not known to apt.

Steps:
Install easytag or easytag-aac: sudo apt-get install easytag (or) easytag-aac
easytag

Expected result:
easytag should start.

Result:
easytag: error while loading shared libraries: libmp4v2.so.0: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory

Solution:

Download, compile and install libmp4v2.
Or, install the old .deb from the natty repositories.

I can reproduce that with the oneiric amd64 package. The program is not linked against libmp4v2 nor does it dynamically load it.
libmp4v2 has been removed from the package due to licensing issues and replaced by taglib.

Did you recompile it with libmp4v2?

[Expired for easytag (Ubuntu) because there has been no activity for 60 days.]

Try installing libmp4v2 from either https://launchpad.net/~jonasped/+archive/ppa or the copy in my ppa https://launchpad.net/~forage/+archive/gtkpod
