and what is the exact problem here?

- reassigning to kpackagekit, it seems the message is pretty bogus here.

ffmpeg-debian (Ubuntu) → kpackagekit (Ubuntu)

I guess it's a problem with the Kpackage rather than libavutil49. I was
downloading ffmpeg, and it came up with a number of dependencies, of which
libavutil49 was one. At the end of the ffmpeg install it gave me this
message so I registered it. However, now I feel it was more to do with the
Ffmpeg package or the package installer.

Subsequently I uninstalled and ran it again successfully.

Regards

Steve

Can you reproduce this error in KpackageKit? Actually this error happened beneath the PackageKit layer. The apt backend just calls apt.

Changed in packagekit (Ubuntu):
status:	New → Incomplete
