Unofficial packaging for Debian available

[ikthal]

I'm getting some circular dependency errors as of yesterday. Anyone have any ideas? Debian Bookworm, no issues until yesterday:

Code: Select all

Reading package lists... Done

Some packages could not be installed. This may mean that you have
requested an impossible situation or if you are using the unstable
distribution that some required packages have not yet been created
or been moved out of Incoming.
The following information may help to resolve the situation:

The following packages have unmet dependencies:
 libavcodec-extra59 : Conflicts: libavcodec59
 libmakemkv1 : Depends: libavcodec59 (= 7:5.1.5-0+deb12u1)
E: Error, pkgProblemResolver::Resolve generated breaks, this may be caused by held packages.

If I try to resolve by installing the -extra59 variant, the error stays the same.

I'm getting some circular dependency errors as of yesterday. Anyone have any ideas? Debian Bookworm, no issues until yesterday:

A security update for ffmpeg was released, which will require a rebuild of makemkv because it uses a private function call from ffmpeg:

Seems the only way out is to get rid of the private function call from libmakemkv1:

Code: Select all

libffabi/src/ffabi.c:    err = avpriv_mpegaudio_decode_header(&s, hdr);
libffabi/src/mpegaudiodecheader.h:int avpriv_mpegaudio_decode_header(MPADecodeHeader *s, uint32_t header);

(the "avpriv_mpegaudio_decode_header(&s, hdr);" call is in libffabi/src/ffabi.c in ffm_mpa_decode_header)

Should I report the issue that makemkv uses a private call somewhere else than this forum ?
A hack is to build libmakemkv1 without this avpriv_mpegaudio_decode_header call, bit I am afraid makemkvconv might misbehave randomly.
Maybe the private ffmpeg function code could be copied to libmakemkv1 to fix this issue ?

It looks like you have the deb-multimedia repo enabled, which is pulling in a different compiled package of ffmpeg. Because makemkv compiles against an internal private ffmpeg function, apt tries to install the version of libavcodec61 from Debian's official repo, but that conflicts with the one provided by deb-multimedia.

Depending on your apt priority pinning, you might be able to uninstall deb-multimedia's version of ffmpeg packages, then install makemkv.

I have not been able to install the testing packages for some time:

I remove deb-multimedia and tried to clean things up as best as I could. Unfortunately it didn't help much:

E: No package named "libavcodec61=7:7.1-3" exists.

I don't know if it's allowed to use version specifiers for why-not so the latter might be a red herring. But it seems the version needed might not be available?

MakeMKV (1.17.7) works on a live DebIan-Bookworm-based system
libmmbd0 was listed but not installed - added ("recommends")
applied MakeMKV preference option for Integration - so VLC plays (and hopefully handbrake)
Also needed libbluray-bdj for menu java
( wonder if mpv/SMplayer … better subtitle background support than I get with VLC … ?)
