Quetzal libmyth-0.25-0 depends on libx264-120

[Mark Wormgoor]

As of yesterday (16-Nov-2012), I'm facing upgrade issues with Mythtv. An updated version of libmyth-0.25.0 has been published in Quetzal updates, but this version depends on libx264-120. However, libx264-120 is not available for Quetzal. The available version is libx264-123.

There is the exact same problem on quantal

New guy here: I am affected by this bug, and am open to helping in any way I can. I have strong linux admin skills and can debug or test.

[Mario Limonciello (superm1)]

In the short term anyone who is affected can enable the 0.25 daily builds
PPA as described at http://www.mythbuntu.org/repos.

I'm uploading a fix to quantal proposed that I expect should be swiftly
moved over to quantal updates to resolve this.

libmyth-0.25-0 on quantal already depends on libx264-123 and installs fine here, there's nothing a rebuild will fix.

Can someone who's seeing this bug on quantal give me the output of "apt-cache policy libmyth-0.25-0"?

[Adam Conrad (adconrad)]

Oh, nevermind, I didn't have quantal-updates enabled in my tests. Looks like an update from precise was copied to quantal, which broke this. A rebuild will indeed be required.

[Adam Conrad (adconrad)]

Hello Mark, or anyone else affected,

Accepted mythtv into quantal-proposed. The package will build now and be available at http://launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/mythtv/2:0.25.2+fixes.20120802.46cab93-0ubuntu1.12.10 in a few hours, and then in the -proposed repository.

Please help us by testing this new package. See https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Testing/EnableProposed for documentation how to enable and use -proposed. Your feedback will aid us getting this update out to other Ubuntu users.

If this package fixes the bug for you, please change the bug tag from verification-needed to verification-done. If it does not, change the tag to verification-failed. In either case, details of your testing will help us make a better decision.

Further information regarding the verification process can be found at https://wiki.ubuntu.com/QATeam/PerformingSRUVerification . Thank you in advance!
