Package: dosbox-x
Version: 2025.02.01+dfsg-3
Severity: grave
Justification: renders package unusable
Dear Maintainer,
$ lsb_release -d
Description: Debian GNU/Linux 13 (trixie)
$ ldd $(which dosbox-x) | grep libavcodec
libavcodec.so.59 => not found
$ rmadison libavcodec59

i386, mips64el, mipsel, ppc64el, s390x
$
I believe an explicit package dependency on libavcodec is missing and
the package must be rebuilt.

Thanks for confirming, I’m closing the bug. Thanks for filing it too, it made
me realise I had disabled avcodec support; I’ve re-enabled it (for Debian
14).
