Problem installing avidemux (nothing provides libvpx.so.8)

English Applications

I can’t install avidemux or avidemux3 because libvpx8 is missing.

Is there anything I can do to fix it myself? Or do I wait for the problem to be fixed. Avidemux is simple enough for me :wink:

There is no such package in Tumbleweed. Where it comes from?

Only to compile the program by yourself. libvpx was updated, but avidemux was not rebuilt against new version.

3

These two packages come from packman multimedia repo. But as easily can be seen in OBS, the actual rebuild of both packages fail. That is why they are not rebuilt against libvpx9…

Thank you for the information.
I suspected that this problem is somehow related to KDE6.
I’m waiting for that avidemux to be compiled.
Discover has a working version, but I don’t like to mix Discover and zypper.

5

A bit off topic, but I am curious how zypper and Discover can have different packages. Are they working from the same repos?

Thanks.

Discover uses flatpacks…

Discover can provide flatpak installation and management, but this doesn’t look like a flatpak issue, it’s fairly easy to check, open up Discover and click on Settings and you can enable/disable flathub with the checkboxes there.
