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
