If you think configure made a mistake, make sure you are using the latest

Just an 'FYI' comment.  I ran into a similar issue with ffmpeg-6.x after I tried to build it with "...-vaapi..."  In fact, I built mesa without "vaapi".  I believe mesa provides many of the pkgconfig dependencies needed by ffmpeg, so although I was building ffmpeg[-vaapi] on top of mesa[-vaapi], ffmpeg still needed pkgconfig/packages that would have been provided by mesa had I built mesa with "vaapi".

I tested this theory by rebuilding mesa with vaapi, which then installed more packages, and solved my ffmpeg[-vaapi] issue.

To be fair, I never would have disabled vaapi anywhere except that vlc is still stuck on an ancient version of ffmpeg when vlc[vaapi] is built and causes a dependency conflict for ffmpeg.  So now I'm just disabling vaapi for vlc only.

I notice a lot of disabled USE flags for ffmpeg in this bug report...perhaps a w/a is to enable some of them for mesa and then try ffmpeg again.  The dependency chain from ffmpeg -> mesa -> other-needed-packages is long and complex and may not even be solvable depending on how independent some of these features are.  Good luck to whoever wants to tackle that...

Can't reproduce this, might either have been related to an older vidstab version (1.1.0-r1 is gone) or fixed in newer ffmpeg. Tentatively assuming this is obsolete, feel free to open a new one if it happens again and will check further then.
