ffmpeg2.8: installing x265 (2.8-1) breaks dependency 'libx265.so=151-6

Hi, I was updating Arch today and encountered the following error:

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

It's similar to the problem reported here.

I have solved the problem by updating vlc, removing ffmpeg2.8 and doing a full upgrade.

sudo pacman -Sy vlc
sudo pacman -R ffmpeg2.8
sudo pacman -Syu

Full excerpt of the problem:

Re: ffmpeg2.8: installing x265 (2.8-1) breaks dependency 'libx265.so=151-6

thanks this :

sudo pacman -Sy vlc
sudo pacman -R ffmpeg2.8
sudo pacman -Syu

works for me!

so if I need install again ffmpeg2.8, may be I could do it with asp? or  I never could install again?

Re: ffmpeg2.8: installing x265 (2.8-1) breaks dependency 'libx265.so=151-6

I fixed it with
pacman -Rs ffmpeg2.8
because the packages that used it (dcadec, schroedinger) are for codecs that are rarely used in the wild.

Re: ffmpeg2.8: installing x265 (2.8-1) breaks dependency 'libx265.so=151-6

Hmm... This seems like something that should be on the Arch homepage perhaps?

I had exact same error, took same steps to update Arch, namely the:

sudo pacman -Sy vlc
sudo pacman -R ffmpeg2.8
sudo pacman -Syu

 

I'll report back if I notice any NEW weirdness with VLC.
(I'm in a VM, and VLC is weird already, but that's for another post... if I get 'round to it.)

Thanks for posting, InFerYes,

If you had to update vlc specifically, the issue is simply that you need to update more often.

I've just had the same problem and the last time I updated was yesterday!
I wonder why I installed vlc tho, I always use mpv.

You can have the issue if you update regularly, but ffmpeg2.8 would not be required by vlc, so that's different than what faceyneck posted.

Alright, I see. Well then, it's still problematic.

Edit: Also, I meant I did install vlc, it wasn't a really wise decision from me since I don't use it.

Re: ffmpeg2.8: installing x265 (2.8-1) breaks dependency 'libx265.so=151-6

It's only problematic if you don't keep your system cleaned up, don't read the error, and don't bother to check out the package in question.

Ahah yeah, that's why I checked it out, probably a bit late.

Re: ffmpeg2.8: installing x265 (2.8-1) breaks dependency 'libx265.so=151-6

You will need to remove all AUR packages that depend on ffmpeg2.8 as well as ffmpeg2.8.  Then rebuild all those packages.

This worked for me! I didn't have to remove vlc.

@donatom did you try without `pacman -Sy vlc` first?

With all of the "Me too"s, I assume this thread is solved.
