ffmpeg, ffmpeg2.8, and x265

I'm trying to run a system upgrade, but can't seem to upgrade ffmpeg nor x265.
Problem seems to be that ffmpeg2.8 is installed, and causing some dependency conflicts.
Not sure how to resolve this.

λ sudo pacman -Su
:: Starting full system upgrade...

looking for conflicting packages...
error: failed to prepare transaction (could not satisfy dependencies)
:: installing x265 (2.8-1) breaks dependency 'libx265.so=151-64' required by ffmpeg2.8

pacman -R ffmpeg2.8

ffmpeg2.8 is not more used

Re: ffmpeg, ffmpeg2.8, and x265

Update your system more often, that dependency chain got resolved cleanly for 2 months

FWIW remove ffmpeg2.8 if necessary with the -Rdd option, the only package that should have this dependency in the repos is VLC which will be updated as well. If you have this dependency for an AUR package, you'd best check if there was an update

Re: ffmpeg, ffmpeg2.8, and x265

I update my system multiple times a day, so don't think "more often" is a valid suggestion.
Removed ffmpeg2.8 and upgraded now. Not sure why it hadn't been removed, if you say it should've been.
Thanks!

I have not in the past, but it seems like a good suggestion for the future! Thanks

Seems my memory is fuzzy, I thought we had a replaces directive, apparently not. Sorry for the noise. But yes, regularly checking and cleaning up after old orphans is a good habit to get into.

Re: ffmpeg, ffmpeg2.8, and x265

My list for `pacman -Qdt` was rather big. I'm still working on it, but I noticed that there were several packages that were originally installed as a dependency, but no longer *are* a dep. For example: akonadi and elfutils. Since I want to keep those, I use the following to mark them as "explicitly installed" to get them off the -Qdt list:

pacman -D --asexplicit <package>

We do have one, but nothing "replaces" ffmpeg2.8, so why should we use it?

Re: ffmpeg, ffmpeg2.8, and x265

I know that we have one, I thought it did do that, for some reason, but now that I remember correctly, it was simply readded to allow an easier upgrade for a while.

Why did no-one ask this at weekend. I finally figured it out this morning, and suddenly here's the solution. Could have saved me a bucket load of heartache sad

@Roken https://git.archlinux.org/svntogit/pack … dab006254b because no one else using testing had the issue?
