[Bug 461966] Re: mplayer: symbol lookup error: mplayer: undefined symbol: codec_wav_tags

[Reinhard Tartler]

this is a typical symptom for having an updated ffmpeg package
installed. this is *not* a bug in mplayer

** Changed in: mplayer (Ubuntu)
       Status: Confirmed => Invalid

** Description changed:

+ Symptom:
+ mplayer: symbol lookup error: mplayer: undefined symbol: codec_wav_tags
+ 
+ Indication:
+ check the version string of the libavutil package. If it contains the string 'ppa', 'tj~ppa' or similar, or if you have the package libavutil50 (instead of libavutil49) installed, then you are affected.
+ 
+ Workaround:
+ remove libavutil50
+ 
+ Solution:
+ none, this problem is caused by 3rd part packages.
+ 
+ DO NOT REOPEN THIS BUG!
+ 
+ Original Report:
  Binary package hint: mplayer
