Maybe it shouldn't have used proposed but still, why doesn't libav do the extra build in a timely fashion? I honestly don't get it & this isn't the first time extra packages lag (significantly) behind the 'regular' ones.
As far as vlc it'll be fine with any of them, 0.8.6/7, whatever it's built off of. (- for curiousity sake put up a libav-extra (6:0.8.7-1ubuntu1) build in a testing ppa, vlc is fine with it. Add. why libav-extra is not version-ed the same as libav is also unclear here, I see no issue -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1206299 Title: Vlc removes libav-extra-* as it depends on a currently unavailable min. version To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/libav-extra/+bug/1206299/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
