Rebuild your AUR package. Since it uses versioned soname dependencies, it will need to be removed, updated, then reinstalled.

This is standard practice when an AUR package like ffmpeg2.8  breaks... maybe you should reconsider whether you need it.

If you don't need ffmpeg2.8 it is safe to remove. ffmpeg2.8 it likely used to be installed because you used VLC prior to its 3.0 release

If you actually need ffmpeg2.8 you will have to rebuild it, if you've never actively dealt with the AUR before (though if you need ffmpeg2.8 that's unlikely) read: https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Ar … Repository

...

I wouldn't have thought people could still have ffmpeg2.8 installed from the repos, when is the last time you updated???

1. Use code tags when pasting to the boards: https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Co … s_and_code

2. Read the wiki on how the AUR works

Moving to AUR Issues
