Dependancy issues with FFMPEG

Support
1

I am trying to install ffmpeg after discovering missing dependancies during a general updating of AL. I uninstalled the older version, and upon reinstalling, I am having issues with both the repos version and the rpm dl for el9 from the FFMPEG site. Below is the response I am getting:

* Waiting in queue... Failed to install packages: Could not depsolve transaction; 1 problem detected:

  - nothing provides ladspa needed by rubberband-2.0.1-1.el9.x86_64

I found an answer:

None of the AL installed repositories (or RPM fusion) had either ladspa or rubberband. I found the rpms on rhel.pkgs.org for el9 and installed each separately. I was then successfully able to install ffmpeg via dnf and the commandline.

I do wonder, though, why ffmpeg is in the repository but its two above dependencies aren’t.

You could also enable the AlmaLinux “crb” repository:

yum-config-manager --enablerepo crb

Afterwards ffmpeg installs without problem.
