Bug#822973: idjc displays "something bad happened" and doesn't start (undefined symbol: avcodec_alloc_frame)

[Frederic Peters]

Package: idjc
Version: 0.8.15-1+b1
Severity: important

Hi,

 $ idjc
jack client ID: idjc_default
something bad happened

I altered part of main.py to get a proper trace and got this:

Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "/usr/bin/idjc", line 32, in <module>
    exit(idjc.main())
  File "/usr/lib/idjc/site-packages/idjc/__init__.py", line 119, in main
    return maingui.main()
  File "/usr/lib/idjc/site-packages/idjc/maingui.py", line 3995, in main
    run_instance = MainWindow()
  File "/usr/lib/idjc/site-packages/idjc/maingui.py", line 3047, in __init__
    self.backend = ctypes.CDLL(FGlobs.backend)
  File "/usr/lib/python2.7/ctypes/__init__.py", line 365, in __init__
    self._handle = _dlopen(self._name, mode)
OSError: /usr/lib/idjc/idjc.so: undefined symbol: avcodec_alloc_frame

The symbol was apparently marked avcodec_alloc_frame, I guess if finally
got removed in a recent ffmpeg upload.


thanks,
        Fred
