Hi, TL;DR: Upgrade to kodi 22.x and drop libpostproc-dev from B-D.

The build log feels a bit unclear about this as the old libpostproc-dev is still present and it looks as if its dependency on libavutil were the problem. Likewise, dose flags libavutil-dev as the problematic package: https://qa.debian.org/dose/debcheck/src_unstable_main/latest/packages/kodi.html I suggest filing a binary RM bug for libpostproc-dev to improve the failure mode here. I agree that the real problem here is Build-Depends: libpostproc-dev. So what happens if one drops that? | -- FFmpeg 7.0.0 not found, falling back to internal build An then it attempts to download FFmpeg 7.x, which tends to fail as sbuild disables network by default. We're not alone and FreeBSD also happens to have run into this problem. https://bugs.freebsd.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=292609 It seems like a particular version of kodi is bound to a particular major version of ffmpeg and for kodi 21.x that's not ffmpeg 8.x. FreeBSD opted for packaging a kodi 22.x pre-release. That probably is the most sensible way to go here. Helmut
