Bug#585086: ffmpeg: missing library link

[Daniel Elmunger]

Subject: ffmpeg: missing library link
Package: ffmpeg
Version: 5:0.5.1+svn20100512-0.1
Severity: important

(Maybe this should be filed against libva1. I don't know.)

When trying:
$ ffmpeg -i neverGonnaGiveYouUp.ogg
I get:
ffmpeg: error while loading shared libraries: libva-0.31.0.6.so.1: 
cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory

$ ldd /usr/bin/ffmpeg
...
libva-0.31.0.6.so.1 => not found
...

$ apt-file search /usr/lib/libva.so.1
libva1: /usr/lib/libva.so.1
libva1: /usr/lib/libva.so.1.0.1

To be able to use ffmpeg, I made a symlink to one of the above.
# ln -s /usr/lib/libva.so.1   /usr/lib/libva-0.31.0.6.so.1
Now it works again.

$ dpkg -l  | grep libva1
ii  libva1 1.0.1-3 Video Acceleration (VA) API for Linux -- run
