[Solved] No firefox/vlc update

Hi, i was trying to update but I get this miss

 Warning: could not be resolved <<ffmpeg 2.8>>, a <<firefox>> dependence  

Do you want to skip the following packages for this update? [Y / N] Y
error: failed to prepare transaction (could not satisfy dependencies)
:: Firefox: needs ffmpeg2.8

 sudo pacman -Ss ffmpeg 

extra/ffmpeg 1:3.0-1 [installed]

 sudo pacman -Ss ffmpeg2.8 

without result

same miss for vlc...

Any advice folks

Should be fixed as soon as it propagates to your mirror.

Re: [Solved] No firefox/vlc update

I also got hit by that warning, but now after updating as usual I'm getting:

VLC media player 2.2.2 Weatherwax (revision 2.2.2-0-g6259d80)
[0000000001b14048] core libvlc: Running vlc with the default interface. Use 'cvlc' to use vlc without interface.
fish: “vlc” terminated by signal SIGSEGV (Address boundary error)

Anyone else seeing this? I've restarted Xorg seing glibc was also updated, but to no avail...

You could try another mirror that is more up-to-date if your mirror isn't getting the update.

The VLC problem is separate. Please don't threadjack.
