ubuntu-restricted-extras Recommends unavailable package: libavcodec-extra-53

[Alex Valavanis]

ubuntu-restricted-extras (59) currently recommends an unavailable package: libavcodec-extra-53. This was deleted from the archive as part of the libav migration (bug #1253071).

Please update the package dependencies accordingly.

SRU discussion: I'll be brief. This ticket was recently fixed for vivid. The metapackage recommends an unavailable package, the proposed patch fixes that. Regression-potential is 0.

Status changed to 'Confirmed' because the bug affects multiple users.

[Alberto Salvia Novella (es20490446e)]

Prevents the package (or a dependent one) from functioning correctly at all.

[S Prasanth (prasanth-s-cmi)]

It should recommend libavcodec-extra instead. libavcodec-extra depends on the latest version in the repositories (libavcodec-extra-54).

proposed solution for trusty (Yes, I really think that is a good choice for a version, much more informative than 60ubuntu0.1)
