[SOLVED] error while loading shared libraries: libavcodec.so.58

Hi,

I have mgba and mgba-qt installed by mgba-sdl and mgba-qt packages respectively. When I tried to open them, I got this error:

mgba: error while loading shared libraries: libavcodec.so.58: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory

Either ffmpeg4.4 in Extra or ffmpeg-compat-58 in AUR seems to solve the problem.

I googled libavcodec.so.58 and mgba, but couldn't find similar issue. 

Does this count as a bug that I should report?

Yes. The package dependencies are wrong.

I've managed to fix it by installing ffmpeg-compat-58 from the AUR

That's not a fix, that's a workaround. The package dep should be ffmpeg4.4.

sorry to necrobump, but to further support Scimmia,
I updated my ffmpeg and ffmpeg4.4 and now my software works.
