Package: ffmpeg
Version: 7:7.1.4-0+deb13u1
Severity: important
X-Debbugs-Cc: [email protected]
Dear Maintainer,
I ran "apt update && apt upgrade" after the very latest ffmpeg security update
on Trixie (the current stable Debian release. Here is the resulting output:
Not upgrading:
ffmpeg libavfilter10 libavutil59 libswscale-dev
libavcodec-dev libavformat-dev libpostproc58 libswscale8
libavcodec61 libavformat61 libswresample-dev
libavdevice61 libavutil-dev libswresample5
Summary:
Upgrading: 0, Installing: 0, Removing: 0, Not Upgrading: 14
While apt didn't give a specific reason why the upgrade wasn't performed,
I suspected a dependency issue. Indeed, after running "apt install ffmpeg",
I got the following output:
Some packages could not be installed. This may mean that you have
requested an impossible situation or if you are using the unstable
distribution that some required packages have not yet been created
or been moved out of Incoming.
The following information may help to resolve the situation:

Broken packages
It seems like there are mismatches between the specific versions of ffmpeg
dependencies, although I could not pinpoint which specific packages are
affected.
I think this is purely a packaging issue: it should be fixed by correcting
the required version dependencies, unless I'm mistaken.
Thank you for your attention.

Nothing changed except for the expected bump from 7.1.4 to 7.1.5 in
the dependencies. I also cannot reproduce the issue on any of my ffmpeg
installs of trixie. This looks more like a local issue. You'll probably
want to figure out why libavfilter-extra10 is selected for installation
instead of libavfilter10. But please contact
[email protected].
