Inconsistent dependencies in world/x264 and world/ffmpeg, breaking installation.

world/x264 depends on:

Code: [Select]
[...]
libavcodec.so=57-64
libavformat.so=57-64
libavutil.so=55-64
[...]
libswscale.so=4-64

world/ffmpeg provides:

Code: [Select]
libavcodec.so=58-64
[...]
libavformat.so=58-64
[...]
libavutil.so=56-64
[...]
libswscale.so=5-64

So, Artix' x264 cannot be installed using Artix' ffmpeg.

till you get a more experienced response what happens if you try

Code: [Select]
pacman -S ffmpeg x264

I was going to suggest you use --force but on my installation, I had ffmpeg, and x264 installed just fine side by side.  I don't see any conflicts.

Here you are:

pacman -Syy and then pacman -S world/x264 world/ffmpeg:

Code: [Select]

And the one you requested, pacman -Su world/ffmpeg:

My Artix mirror list is:

Code: [Select]
Server = http://mirror.clarkson.edu/artix-linux/repos/$repo/os/$arch
Server = http://ftp.sh.cvut.cz/artix-linux/$repo/os/$arch
Server = http://ftp.cc.uoc.gr/mirrors/linux/artixlinux/$repo/os/$arch

Using
Code: [Select]
Server = http://mirror1.artixlinux.org/repos/$repo/os/$arch
as single mirror (of course I did pacman -Syy after changing the mirror list) does not change things.

Having to use --force is no acceptable solution.

Hmm you're right. There is indeed a conflict between x264 and ffmpeg. Interestingly enough, the PKGBUILDs in Arch and Artix look the same to me. Note that you can install x264 from Arch's extra repo (pacman -S extra/x264) just fine. I'm going to guess that x264 in world must have accidentally been built with the old ffmpeg thus causing the dependency issue.

Dependencies of Arch's x264 and Artix' x264 differ.

Dependencies of extra/x264:
Code: [Select]
glibc  libavcodec.so=58-64  libavformat.so=58-64  libavutil.so=56-64  liblsmash.so=2-64  libswscale.so=5-64

Dependencies of world/x264:
Code: [Select]
glibc  libavcodec.so=57-64  libavformat.so=57-64  libavutil.so=55-64  liblsmash.so=2-64  libswscale.so=4-64

Package version in both is 2:152.20171224-2.

Seems that while building x264 for Artix, an old ffmpeg was used.

I can install up to date extra/x264 without any dependency-problems with up to date world/ffmpeg.

Seems that the problem has been silently fixed now (world/x264 has been updated, $pkgrel is 2.1).
