[MPlayer-users] mplayer: relocation error: /usr/lib/libavcodec-cvs.so

[raid517]

Out of curiosity, is there any 'official' version of that package that 
would work? (I have no issues with rebuilding Mplayer).

I ask as cinelerra needs it and it would be nice if I could get both 
Mplayer and cinelerra to work in harmony (cinelerra for editing my 
movies and Mplayer for watching them).

On an aside, possibly, or possibly not directly linked to Mplayer, I'm 
getting undefined symbols messages on libquicktimehv-1.6.0.so.1 too. Is 
there any way to fix this?

Also how can I avoid things like this in the future? I'm not sure I can 
stop my Debian box from pulling in updates - as all of my codecs libs 
and other packages would quickly become rather old. What is meant when 
you speak of official packages? I would imagine that as a lot of these 
packages are not directly aviable from Debian, they are all to an extent 
somewhat unnoficial. I certainly would tell packagers to follow 
packaging guidelines - but unfortunately I doubt me simply telling them 
this is likely to change very much. :(

Your input is appreciatted.
