I tried various mirrors (packman.jacobs-university.de, ftp.gwdg.de), but all have the same problem. If you go to the faac page on the packman site at <http://packman.links2linux.de/package/faac/192959> and click on "1.28-2.pm.5.1 openSUSE 11.1 x86_64" you'll see that there's only libfaac0-32bit-1.28-2.pm.5.1.x86_64.rpm Mi 17.11.2010 (vor 7 Tagen) while for the other distribution/architecure combinations all packages are there. It seems that the build for openSUSE 11.1 on x86_64 somehow failed. > As rlee pointed out, faac support has indeed been removed from ffmpeg, > but the faac/libfaac packages are still built and published. > > I just checked on our primary server and the RPM packages are there > indeed.
