I am getting the same error for OBS as well.

Code: [Select]
obs: error while loading shared libraries: libavcodec.so.59: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory

There was an update today, so it might be related?

Edit:
There was another OBS update, but I'm still getting the same error. Chromium is working again.
