Title: Installation of libav-tools produces dpkg error Status in “libav” package in Ubuntu: Fix Released Status in “libav” source package in Trusty: In Progress Bug description: I installed the package libav-tools using the command sudo apt-get install libav-tools This did install the package, but it produced a dpkg error on the way. The output is given below. My system is a live CD of Xubuntu 14.04 with virtually no changes (so it's clean). I don't know if the problem is with apt-get or with libav-tools. Expected behaviour: apt-get install to complete with no dpkg reconfigure errors Actual behaviour: apt-get install encountered dpkg reconfigure errors xubuntu@xubuntu:~$ lsb_release -rd Description: Ubuntu 14.04 LTS Release: 14.04 xubuntu@xubuntu:~$ apt-cache policy apt apt: Installed: 1.0.1ubuntu2 Candidate: 1.0.1ubuntu2 Version table: *** 1.0.1ubuntu2 0 500 http://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/ trusty/main amd64 Packages 100 /var/lib/dpkg/status xubuntu@xubuntu:~$ apt-cache policy libav-tools libav-tools: Installed: 6:9.11-2ubuntu2 Candidate: 6:9.11-2ubuntu2 Version table: *** 6:9.11-2ubuntu2 0 500 http://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/ trusty/universe amd64 Packages 100 /var/lib/dpkg/status xubuntu@xubuntu:~$ sudo apt-get install libav-tools Reading package lists...
