(Get the code!)
Hmm, can't be "really":
paul@stromboli ~ $ grep 4mv /usr/share/
paul@stromboli ~ $
But I expected this bug to appear. You updated winff from a previous version and winff unfortunately stores a copy of the above mentioned file in ~/.winff/ the first time it runs. So the package is fixed, but winff still uses the old file and the user has to replace (or merge in the case of local changes) the presets.xml file in the package with the presets.xml file in the user folder.
When no changes were made locally the procedure is simple (in a terminal window):
mv ~/.winff/
You can then start winff again. I propose to make the backup, just in case you discover that you did make relevant changes. Of course you can make rename that file also in you favorite file browser.
Unfortunately there is no plain method in packaging land to do such a thing in the package, so the only other option would be to fix winff to do that. Unfortunately, this has not been accomplished by upstream due to complexity to do it programmatic, and due to lack of urgency. It now hits us by an major change of ffmpeg, and has hit us long time in the past when we didn't understand the direction of the solution yet.
