______________________________________ If you don't want to wait, you can also just copy the development files manually. I did this and it seems to work fine, but don't blame me if something goes wrong :). 1) install the -dev packages (and uninstall the -extra packages) for libavformat, libavcodec, libavdevice, libavutil, libavfilter and libswscale 2) run this: mkdir -p ~/Documents/libav-dev cd ~/Documents/libav-dev mkdir -p libavformat cp -a /usr/include/libavformat/* libavformat mkdir -p libavcodec cp -a /usr/include/libavcodec/* libavcodec mkdir -p libavdevice cp -a /usr/include/libavdevice/* libavdevice mkdir -p libavutil cp -a /usr/include/libavutil/* libavutil mkdir -p libavfilter cp -a /usr/include/libavfilter/* libavfilter mkdir -p libswscale cp -a /usr/include/libswscale/* libswscale 3) install the -extra packages (and uninstall the -dev packages) for libavformat, libavcodec, libavdevice, libavutil, libavfilter and libswscale 4) run this: cd ~/Documents/libav-dev sudo mkdir -p /usr/include/libavformat sudo cp -a libavformat/* /usr/include/libavformat sudo ln -s libavformat.so.53.21.0 /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libavformat.so sudo mkdir -p /usr/include/libavcodec sudo cp -a libavcodec/* /usr/include/libavcodec sudo ln -s libavcodec.so.53.35.0 /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libavcodec.so sudo mkdir -p /usr/include/libavdevice sudo cp -a libavdevice/* /usr/include/libavdevice sudo ln -s libavdevice.so.53.2.0 /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libavdevice.so sudo mkdir -p /usr/include/libavutil sudo cp -a libavutil/* /usr/include/libavutil sudo ln -s libavutil.so.51.22.1 /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libavutil.so sudo mkdir -p /usr/include/libavfilter sudo cp -a libavfilter/* /usr/include/libavfilter sudo ln -s libavfilter.so.2.15.0 /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libavfilter.so sudo mkdir -p /usr/include/libswscale sudo cp -a libswscale/* /usr/include/libswscale sudo ln -s libswscale.so.2.1.0 /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libswscale.so -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Desktop Packages, which is subscribed to libav in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1038781 Title: -dev packages are missing alternate depends on -extra packages Status in “libav” package in Ubuntu: Triaged Bug description: Since 6:0.8.3-6ubuntu1 you cannot have the libav -dev and -extra packages installed at the same time.
