@bojo42: Thanks for your help. I have something unexpected to report: after downloading and installing the first of your attachments (libopal3.6.1-plugins-h263-1998_3.6.1-0ubuntu1~ppa1_i386.deb), the missing codecs h263 and h263-1998 have already appeared in Ekiga with no additional work. That is, I did not use "sudo dpkg --force-depends...", and I do not have any of the -dev packages installed for libavcodec, libavformat and libavutil.
Perhaps I misunderstood, but I thought we had decided those -dev packages would be necessary for the detection of the missing codecs, even with your plugins package installed. Can you comment on this?
I will test the new codecs' functionality in a call later today.
