[Pkg-gmagick-im-team] Bug#779586: imagemagick-common: delegate failed, still refers to ffmpeg and not avconv.

[Richard Nelson]

Package: imagemagick-common
Version: 8:6.8.9.9-5
Severity: important

Dear Maintainer,

During testing of ifetch-tools I discovered the following when attemtping to convert jpegs to mp4 file:


delegate failed `"ffmpeg" -v -1 -i "%M%%d.jpg" "%u.%m" 2> "%Z"' @ error/delegate.c/InvokeDelegate/1310 

backtrace of `Magick::ImageMagickError' delegate failed `"ffmpeg" -v -1 -i "%M%%d.jpg" "%u.%m" 2> "%Z"' @ error/delegate.c/InvokeDelegate/1310


strace information of:

grep ffmpeg trace.txt

17146 execve("/bin/sh", ["sh", "-c", "\"ffmpeg\" -v -1 -i \"/tmp/magick-1"...], [/* 19 vars */] <unfinished ...>
17146 stat("/usr/local/sbin/ffmpeg", 0x7fff3579e510) = -1 ENOENT (No such file or directory)
17146 stat("/usr/local/bin/ffmpeg", 0x7fff3579e510) = -1 ENOENT (No such file or directory)

17146 stat("/bin/ffmpeg", 0x7fff3579e510) = -1 ENOENT (No such file or directory)
17146 stat("/usr/local/games/ffmpeg", 0x7fff3579e510) = -1 ENOENT (No such file or directory)
17146 stat("/usr/games/ffmpeg", 0x7fff3579e510) = -1 ENOENT (No such file or directory)

grep avconv trace.txt

No results on the grep for avconv in trace file. So to me this seems that the package is still using ffmpeg for MPEGDecodeDelegate
and not avconv. In fact if I  ln -s /usr/bin/avconv /usr/bin/ffmpeg the delegate error goes away.

This may be related to bug:

#722272 Please no longer suggest ffmpeg
