libaom.so.3 needed by ffmpeg-libs

[BobLaske]

I've searched but cannot seem to find much on this problem so time to post.

I ended up having to use the --nobest option but am concerned this is going to break zoneminder.
I can't possibly be the only person having this problem but am not sure how to resolve it. I can remove the ffmpeg packages but using yum wants to remote zoneminder as well. I'm not sure how much I want to mess with this and end up breaking the app.

Can anyone shed any light on this?

Code: Select all

 Problem 1: cannot install the best update candidate for package ffmpeg-libs-4.2.4-1.el8.x86_64
  - nothing provides libaom.so.3()(64bit) needed by ffmpeg-libs-4.2.4-2.el8.x86_64
 Problem 2: cannot install the best update candidate for package vlc-core-1:3.0.13-1.el8.1.x86_64

 Problem 3: package libavdevice-4.2.4-2.el8.x86_64 requires ffmpeg-libs(x86-64) = 4.2.4-2.el8, but none of the providers can be installed

You are not the only one.. What flavour of linux are you using?
So libaom is in epel repo it has not been updated for years. There is a new libaom in epel testing repo it was added on the 13th of this month. I do not know how often and under which protocol testing rpm's are moved to regular epel.

But basically rpmfusion repo (zoneminder) and epel repo (libaom) are not synced. Not sure if this is an error. Normally stuff like this takes hours. It's been like this for days I heard.

Don't know if this is a bug. Maybe the Zoneminder in rpmfusion was built with epel testing?

I'm sorry I don't know the answers to your questions. I am using CentOS 7x myself as it is not clear what to use next, there is still time until 2024.

Looks like epel just got updated with the new libaom. Problem should be solved now...

Sorry, I'm not getting the notifications of replies. In my case, it's centos 8.
I just tried yum update and sure enough, the new packages are there.

The problem seems to be fixed now. Thanks Whoop.
