Bug Description
The current version number of the libavcodec-extra-53 package doesn't match the usual convention for Ubuntu packages, and I suspect that attempting to install it, causes dependency conflicts which remove applications which depend on FFMPEG, including Audacity and VLC as well as FFMPEG itself.
The version number should be 4.0.7.1-0ubuntu1, not 4.0.7.1.0ubuntu1. Unless I am missing something blatantly obvious.
This also affects other libav-extra packages as well.
To post a comment you must log in.
I've changed the versioning number because the source package is now a native package, i.e., without an orig.tar.gz. Instead, it build depends on the libav-source. tar.gz. With non-native version numbers git-buildpackage gets horribly confused.
Do you experience any particular problem that this change causes?
