--- Begin Message ---Package: frei0r-plugins Version: 1.6.1-1+b1 Severity: minor Dear Maintainer, Thanks for maintaining frei0r's plugins. They look cool. * What led up to the situation? I wondered why ffmpeg failed to use frei0r plugins as ffmpeg sources. * What exactly did you do (or not do) that was effective (or ineffective)? I typed $ apt-cache show frei0r-plugins and read the "Breaks:" header. * What was the outcome of this action? Breaks: frei0r (<= 1.1.22) * What outcome did you expect instead? Breaks: frei0r-plugins (<= 1.1.22) Thanks, Kingsley Bonus: Tell me where to look for documentation on parameters and syntax for using frei0r effects as ffmpeg sources. -- System Information: Debian Release: stretch/sid APT prefers unstable-debug APT policy: (500, 'unstable-debug'), (500, 'unstable') Architecture: i386 (i686) Kernel: Linux 4.4.0-1-686-pae (SMP w/2 CPU cores) Locale: LANG=en_US.UTF-8, LC_CTYPE=en_US.UTF-8 (charmap=UTF-8) Shell: /bin/sh linked to /bin/bash Init: systemd (via /run/systemd/system) Versions of packages frei0r-plugins depends on: ii libc6 2.24-17 ii libcairo2 1.14.8-1 ii libgavl1 1.4.0-3 ii libgcc1 1:7.2.0-12 ii libopencv-calib3d3.2 3.2.0+dfsg-3 ii libopencv-contrib3.2 3.2.0+dfsg-3 ii libopencv-core3.2 3.2.0+dfsg-3 ii libopencv-features2d3.2 3.2.0+dfsg-3 ii libopencv-flann3.2 3.2.0+dfsg-3 ii libopencv-highgui3.2 3.2.0+dfsg-3 ii libopencv-imgcodecs3.2 3.2.0+dfsg-3 ii libopencv-imgproc3.2 3.2.0+dfsg-3 ii libopencv-ml3.2 3.2.0+dfsg-3 ii libopencv-objdetect3.2 3.2.0+dfsg-3 ii libopencv-photo3.2 3.2.0+dfsg-3 ii libopencv-shape3.2 3.2.0+dfsg-3 ii libopencv-stitching3.2 3.2.0+dfsg-3 ii libopencv-superres3.2 3.2.0+dfsg-3 ii libopencv-video3.2 3.2.0+dfsg-3 ii libopencv-videoio3.2 3.2.0+dfsg-3 ii libopencv-videostab3.2 3.2.0+dfsg-3 ii libopencv-viz3.2 3.2.0+dfsg-3 ii libstdc++6 7.2.0-12 frei0r-plugins recommends no packages.

It breaks a _previously_ existing binary package: See changelog, particularly for release 1.1.22git20090209-1. The breaks hint is arguably harmless but can be dropped now, because the cnahce happened so long ago (and Debian does not support migrating directly from ancient releases to current one). - Jonas -- * Jonas Smedegaard - idealist & Internet-arkitekt * Tlf.: +45 40843136 Website: http://dr.jones.dk/ [x] quote me freely [ ] ask before reusing [ ] keep private
