Arch Linux Package Out of Date by about 2 months

[Lucas-V-L]

preface: not sure if this is the right place to report this, but i noticed the arch package was already flagged out of date 2 months ago with no action, so i figured id ask here.

Describe The Bug Out of date package on Arch Linux to the point where installation is impossible with regular ffmpeg also installed (which other things depend on, so i cant just remove that). specifically the issue is that the out of date version of jellyfin-ffmpeg depends on an old version of libplacebo and regular ffmpeg depends on a new one.

Steps To Reproduce try to install jellyfin-ffmpeg on an arch linux system with ffmpeg installed

Expected Behavior it installs with no issue

System (please complete the following information):

• Platform: Linux
• Operating System: Arch Linux (fully updated as of writing)
• Virtualization: none
• Jellyfin Version: 10.8.10
• Jellyfin-FFmpeg Version: does not install
• Hardware Acceleration: none, because it refuses to install
• CPU & GPU Model: AMD Ryzen 7 3700x & AMD RX580

MediaInfo N/A

Logs trying to install jellyfin-ffmpeg returns the following:

[lucas@lucasvl-pc ~]$ sudo pacman -S jellyfin-ffmpeg
[sudo] password for lucas:

error: failed to prepare transaction (could not satisfy dependencies)
:: installing libplacebo (5.264.1-4) breaks dependency 'libplacebo.so=338-64' required by ffmpeg

Additional Context if this is the wrong place to report this, please let me know where to go and i will go there. i have already tried manually installing the specified version of libplacebo with no success. here is the package page - https://archlinux.org/packages/extra/x86_64/jellyfin-ffmpeg/ - i do not have an account to report a bug directly on the package and cannot make one.

@Lucas-V-L jellyfin-ffmpeg isn't an AUR package anymore. I have no access to push updates to it now. So the timeliness of updates depends on community maintainers.

Generally speaking, you only need to edit the jellyfin-ffmpeg version in the PKGBUILD and rebuild the package with makepkg -si.

This issue only happens when testing repository is enabled, it doesn’t happen otherwise.

Additonally, the package is out of date because it fails to build from source and I haven’t had time to look into it.

Good news! The extra package has been updated to version 6.0.1-1 (the current latest) since this issue was created.
