[Bug 1509169] Re: package libavcodec-ffmpeg56 (not installed) failed to install/upgrade: conflicting packages - not installing libavcodec-ffmpeg56:amd64

[Andreas Cadhalpun]

libavcodec-ffmpeg56 intentionally conflicts with libavcodec-ffmpeg-extra56.
I'm not sure what you did, but according to DpkgHistoryLog.txt it involves aptdaemon, which seems to not handle conflicts correctly.
But since this is definitely not a bug in libavcodec-ffmpeg56, I'm reassigning this report to aptdaemon now.

** Package changed: ffmpeg (Ubuntu) => aptdaemon (Ubuntu)
