This turns out is because gstreamer1.0-libav is dependant on libavcodec58 which obviously conflicts with libavcodec-extra58 even though libavcodec-extra58 should be a suitable replacement. It's a bit difficult to tell which package this is an issue in: gst- libav1.0 (gstreamer1.0-libav) or ffmpeg (libavcodec-extra58) or apt in general. ** Affects: ffmpeg (Ubuntu) Importance: Undecided Status: New -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1887548 Title: libavcodec-extra58 Provides libavcodec58 but will uninstall anything dependant on gstreamer1.0-libav To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/ffmpeg/+bug/1887548/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
