dears,

I have problems with the amprolla overlay of debian multimedia. here in brief:

 sudo apt install libavcodec-dev
Reading package lists... Done       
Building dependency tree       
Reading state information... Done
Some packages could not be installed. This may mean that you have
requested an impossible situation or if you are using the unstable
distribution that some required packages have not yet been created
or been moved out of Incoming.
The following information may help to resolve the situation:


The following packages have unmet dependencies:
 libavcodec-dev : Depends: libavcodec56 (<= 6:11.6-99) but 10:2.6.5-dmo1 is to be installed or
                           libavcodec-extra-56 (<= 6:11.6-99) but it is not going to be installed
                  Depends: libavutil-dev (= 6:11.6-1~deb8u1) but it is not going to be installed
                  Depends: libavresample-dev (= 6:11.6-1~deb8u1) but it is not going to be installed

I believe this problem is caused by the fact we overlay
debian-multimedia. In general this approach is not transparent and
adds a complexity in package dependencies which I don't really know
how to handle.

OTOH I did start to fix some multimedia tools in Debian, which is
rather trivial, for instance ffmpeg https://git.devuan.org/devuan-packages/ffmpeg


Can we agree at least for beta to remove the overlay to
debian-multimedia? this will help understand what is really missing
and what is really happening. In the current situation I'm confused
about what is exactly causing the problem, but I suspect that is the
overlay.


thanks

ciao!
