General comment for users that get this x265 error when upgrading their system:

installing x265 (3.4-1) breaks dependency 'libx265.so=188-32' required by ffmpeg-mmal

Long story short, the simple solution is to remove ffmpeg-mmal, upgrade the system, then rebuild ffmpeg-mmal again.

I'd recommend adding -j4 to the make command if you're building it on RPi2/3, speed things up dramatically.

Also I tried 4.0.1, seems to be working.

I rolled back mpv-rpi to the last working version as you suggested in another thread. But then it is forced to software rendering. It seems that ffmpeg-mmal is not working? Or am I missing something?

I am running the latest ffmpeg-mmal.

Increased the PKGBUILD to force linking against the new incompatible x265 version, following @rpi2's advice. That probably explains why AUR helpers didn't rebuild it. Related: https://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php?id=147057

@chenmah Actually, you could also install the upstream ffmpeg package, as it replaces ffmpeg-mmal without removing the packages that depend on it, then make your update, and rebuild ffmpeg-mmal after the update.

In general, you do need to rebuild a software every time a library it depends on breaks its binary compatibility. Luckily, this doesn't happen too often with the most important system libs.

why not set pkgrel=2 ?

One more question.

Sometimes I also use AUR helper programs like packer, instead of git clone from aur then makepkg -si. I assume packer -Syu will also update the aur packages, right? In fact, last time I run packer -Syu, it recompiles ffmpeg-mmal, but still didnt' get it right with x265.

What is the problem in this particular case?

chenmah commented on 2018-05-30 22:24

OK. Thanks for the suggestion. Just try to understand the whole thing. Does it mean I have to manually repeat this process everytime there is an update of its dependencies?

Quite a few softwares depend on ffmpeg. For instance, in my sytem, pacman -Rc ffmpeg-mmal will also remove firefox, opencv, mpv, mplayer etc. They also need to be manually reinstalled after recompiling ffmpeg-mmal.

Is there anything special in this case which prevents resolving dependency automatically?

fmang commented on 2018-05-29 23:34

@chenmah You need to install the new x265 before compiling ffmpeg-mmal.

In other words: 1. pacman -Rc ffmpeg-mmal, 2. pacman -Su, 3. rebuild ffmpeg-mmal

I am running 32bit archlinux arm on a raspberry pi 3. I got the following error message when trying to do a system update. I already pulled the latest source from aur and recompiled ffmpeg-mmal. What is the correct way to solve this problem?

Updated to ffmpeg 3.4.2.

I've noticed that the upstream PKGBUILD adds --enable-omx, so I also added --enable-omx-rpi on top of it.

@nagual You need to uninstall ffmpeg-mmal, upgrade your system, then rebuild it.

With dynamic linking, when you upgrade a library, you need to rebuild the applications that depend on it. Maybe a pacman wrapper like yaourt would rebuild it for you, but otherwise you have to uninstall the conflicting AUR packages yourself and reinstall them.
