What's the fix? call avconv if present and update the parameters fed to it in any case. Upstream stopped development long time ago and I doubt this will be ever fixed :/ (I also wonder about the security of this package looking to the history of security bugs that were appearing at the time upstream care about :|) Then what do we do with it? I think maintainers have 2 options: 1. Make this hard depend on media-video/ffmpeg 2. CCing treecleaners and remove this if they think this package is no widely used any more as it won't receive any updates/fixes in the future (In reply to Pacho Ramos from comment #5) > I think maintainers have 2 options: > 1.

Yeah, I will CC us just now, anyway that doesn't block anyone from going ahead and masking it for removal without waiting for treecleaners to have enough time for doing so ;) removed |
