Thanks that makes more sense.
The bug is in Ubuntu's pkgbinarymangler which is responsible for
symlinking these changelogs. It seems to think that libavcodec57 is a
dependency of ffmpeg, but in fact libavcodec57 is part of a set of
alternatives where libavcodec-extra57 could be installed instead. I
think pkgbinarymangler should ignore any dependencies part of an
alternative set (ie containing a "|" character) which should fix this.
** Also affects: pkgbinarymangler (Ubuntu)
Importance: Undecided
Status: New
** Summary changed:
- changelog.Debian.gz is a dangling symlink when libavcodec-extra57 is
installed
+ pkgbinarymanager: symlink_doc should ignore dependencies part of an
alternative set
