[SOLVED] Installing FFmpeg shows "x256 breaks dependencies"

So there is a new update for FFmpeg. Upon installing pacman shows this:

$ sudo pacman -S ffmpeg
resolving dependencies...
looking for conflicting packages...
error: failed to prepare transaction (could not satisfy dependencies)
:: ffmpeg2.8: installing x265 (2.7-1) breaks dependency 'libx265.so=146-64'

How can I resolve this?

Re: [SOLVED] Installing FFmpeg shows "x256 breaks dependencies"

Don't just install one package like that after you've obviously updated the databases. That is a partial update and is unsupported.

You'll have the same problem updating the system, though. Check ffmpeg2.8; if nothing depends on it, remove it. if vlc is the only that that depends on it, remove it with -Rdd, then update the entire system.

ffmpeg2.8 has been dropped from the repos since VLC has been updated to VLC 3, and it doesn't need it as a dependency anyware.

sadly, it isn't in the AUR either, breaking lives from the AUR

Re: [SOLVED] Installing FFmpeg shows "x256 breaks dependencies"

I was able to resolve this problem by doing

pacman -Sy vlc
pacman -R ffmpeg2.8
pacman -Su

Two or three days ago my system was updated, everything was fine. When I tried today:

timocramer has given a good solution above your post. ffmpeg2.8 is not in any repo and is not required for other packages than vlc. Updating vlc solves the issue.

Re: [SOLVED] Installing FFmpeg shows "x256 breaks dependencies"

Where do I get the ffmpeg2.8 PKGBUILD?
Is there an oldpkg repository somewhere?

Re: [SOLVED] Installing FFmpeg shows "x256 breaks dependencies"

Why would you want the old PKGBUILD?  It is available, but I can't imagine a reason to use it.

Old packages are also still available.

@Trilby Thanks for the link
lives depends on it: https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/lives
Other packages in AUR might need it also

Re: [SOLVED] Installing FFmpeg shows "x256 breaks dependencies"

Ha ... sorry, you did say that, but I didn't realize it was the name of a package.  I thought it was hysterics: "breaking lives", "lives depend on it!"

It turns out that it was quite literal.

Re: [SOLVED] Installing FFmpeg shows "x256 breaks dependencies"

It may be worth checking whether lives can be rebuilt against the new ffmpeg instead.

And they said 'never change a running system'
Indeed, lives 'lives' quite nice with ffmpeg
lo and behold - let the tests begin

Re: [SOLVED] Installing FFmpeg shows "x256 breaks dependencies"

After having removed ffmpeg though, I'm still not out of the woods in my case:

 

[chs@haruspex ~]$ sudo pacman -Syu
:: Synchronisation des bases de données de paquets...
 core est à jour
 extra est à jour
 community est à jour
:: Début de la mise à jour complète du système...
résolution des dépendances...
recherche des conflits entre paquets...
erreur: la préparation de la transaction a échoué (la satisfaction des dépendances a échoué)
:: ffmpeg2.8: installer x265 (2.7-1) casse la dépendance «libx265.so=146-64»
[chs@haruspex ~]$ 

What am I doing wrong?

Other than not posting command output in English?  You removed ffmpeg, you we're supposed to remove ffmpeg2.8

EDIT: oops, that may or may not be it - post the output in English first, then it will be more clear.

Your keyboard has a shift key. That video editor is spelled "LiVES". If you use free software, at least take the time to spell and capitalize it correctly.

My french is not too good, but good enough to see that your answer was correct.

That wouldn't have avoided my initial confusion - I just would have tacked on netspeek typing to my inferrence of hysteria.  But in fact the aur package is `lives` not `LiVES`.  Perhaps the aur maintainer got it wrong, but that's what it is.

Re: [SOLVED] Installing FFmpeg shows "x256 breaks dependencies"

FWIW the ffmpeg2.8 package has been reinstated for now, so that this issue shouldn't happen for the updates happening right now.

Re: [SOLVED] Installing FFmpeg shows "x256 breaks dependencies"

Indeed, the ffmpeg 2.8 was the problematic package, not just anykind of ffmpeg version... Apologies for the french command output I was not well  awoken the other night.
