Hi, Whilst installing empathy on another intrepid test box. I noticed libavcodec being installed. After an "hmmm an mpeg library is there an issue here for inclusion of empathy by default" I did some digging. We have two libavcodec packages, libavcodec51 in main and libavcodec1d in universe. A quick delve into the package shows that lbavcodec51 is a stripped package to disable anything mpeg and bad, but if you go by the package description you see in synaptic this cannot be ascertained that as both packages have the one below.
// Package description starts ffmpeg codec library This is the codec library from the ffmpeg project. It supports most existing encoding formats (MPEG, DivX, MPEG4, AC3, DV...). This package contains a Debian-specific version of the libavcodec shared object that should only be used by Debian packages. // Package description ends Should the description for libavcodec51 be changed to be more relevant and give users more correct information? Regards Phil
