Here’s the output from the package in Debian 13:

$ ldd $(which dosbox-x) | grep libavcodec
$

The package doesn’t depend on libavcodec59 because the dosbox-x binary in the
package doesn’t use it.

I believe you’re not using the package; this is based on the dependencies:

If you had installed dosbox-x from the Debian repositories, there would be no
“pn” entries above.

Could you check the output of

$ which dosbox-x

and try again after actually installing dosbox-x?
