Bug Description

Binary package hint: ffmpeg

Hi,
The stripped version of libav* packages have version 4:0.5+svn20090706 while unstripped versions although based on the same source tarball (http://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/pool/multiverse/f/ffmpeg/ffmpeg_0.5+svn20090706.orig.tar.gz) have version 4:0.5+svn20090609.

This wouldn't be much of a problem if the development packages weren't also requiring >= 4:0.5+svn20090706, so if I install the unstripped version of libavcodec I can't install libavcodec-dev because it requires libavcodec-unstripped-52 >= 4:0.5+svn20090706 and this is not installable.

Since both the stripped and unstripped versions, apparently, are base on the same source tarball, I guess the unstripped packages were just created with a wrong version name.

The latest update install version 4:0.5+svn20090706-1ubuntu1+extra1 for ffmpeg-extra but I still can't install libavcodec-dev (or any other dev package for the ffmpeg suite) as it requires libavcodec-extra-52 >=4:0.5+svn20090706-1ubuntu3.
Since the dev packages are created from the stripped version of ffmpeg, ffmpeg-extra must be at least the same version in order for the dev packages to be installed.

Here is another one:
ffmpeg is not installable with the extra libraries.
While every other package that depends on these can be installed with any of the library flavours (stripped or unstripped), Ffmpeg, for some reason, now forces the striped version.

Also after updating libavcodec-unstripped-52 to version 4:0.5+svn20090706-1ubuntu1+extra1 I lost at least the following encoding codecs: MPG2 (CODEC_ID_MPEG2VIDEO), MP43 (CODEC_ID_MSMPEG4V3) and MP4V (CODEC_ID_MPEG4)
All of these were available in the previous version. Should I file a new bug for this ?

  * reintroduce the formats.txt file
  * reintroduce "missing" codecs: LP: #419103
  * is co-installable with the -dev packages LP: #416436, #418168
  * should now have the proper replaces lines: LP: #418789, #418799, #418807, #323789
  * don't build doxygen documentation, it is not installed anyway
