Need help with ffmpeg installation - strange behaviour of my system - am I correct here?
Joerg Kampmann
Hello - I tried to install ffmpeg (a normal
Debian package) and got some strange messages. the ffmpeg-group
adviced me to go to a Debian group. I hope I am correct here in
this group.
I am running Debian 9 on a Fujitsu TX 100 S1 computer ...

I am sorry - however I posted a rather long "strange" stuff here. I evidently disappeared :) - can you explain that?You have kept these "strange" meaages secret. How could anyone work out what is going on?
I am running Debian 9 on a Fujitsu TX 100 S1 computer ...
ffmpeg is known to be installable on Debian 9.

upgrading, as running older releases tends to be incompatible with
the desire to install recent versions of web browsers, video players,
and other large and complicated packages.

For the purpose of posting to debian-user, you may wish to switch your
locale temporarily to English. Since you're using a shell with root
privileges, the simplest way would probably be to run the command
export LANG=C
before your apt commands. The LANG setting will go away when you exit
from the root shell.
According to <https://packages.debian.org/stretch/ffmpeg> the dependencies
should be libavcodec57 (>= 7:3.2.14) and so on.
This means you've probably got repositories other than the stretch
(Debian 9) sources, and these are causing a conflict.
If this were my system, I would first remove all of the non-Debian-9
sources and run "apt-get update". If ffmpeg still can't be installed
after that, then it's possible you have already installed some of the
dependencies from non-Debian-9 sources, and you may need to remove
those. This could cascade into a full disaster if you're unlucky. This
is why we normally recommend against mixing sources from multiple Debian
versions, or using sketchy outside sources.

depends on libavcodec57, not 58. Could it be you've configured Debian
Multimedia repository for Debian 10 for your Debian 9 system?

Hello - I tried to install ffmpeg...
This is on Debian 9. Either it installs or it doesn't. It did for me.
Not being the current release seems neither here nor there.

are either from, or for, different Debian releases. Or mixed Debian
sources and non-Debian sources.
The "libc6 (>= 2.27)" dependency is identical to the libc6 dependency
on the *buster* (Debian 10) version of libavcodec58. (Which is a
package that does not even exist in Debian 9.) So, it looks like you've
either got a buster (Debian 10) source, or you've got some third-party
source that was meant to be used with Debian 10.
You can't use Debian 10 sources on Debian 9.

Fujitsu) and already tried to install Debian 10 which made my
mouse-pointer awfully slow and "jumpy" ... therefore I stay with Debian
9 - however I try moving with the Debian 10 - trial-disk - but at a
later time in August ...

ways to fix the problem (by removing&upgrading&downgrading package).
The solutions it offers can sometimes take a long time to come up
(because it performs a search through a large search tree), and it may
have effects you won't like, so carefully review the solutions proposed.

There we have it.
You have added a debian-multimedia (dmo) source intended to be used
with Debian 10 (deb10).
This is incompatible with Debian 9.
You'll want to remove the inappropriate sources, as I said in my original
reply. Then purge any and all packages that contain "deb10" in their
version strings.
That may not cure *everything* but it's a start.

sources.list like
deb http://ftp.uni-kl.de/debian-multimedia/ stable main
Unfortunately now stable points to buster (debian 10).
Changing this to something like
deb http://www.deb-multimedia.org stretch main
might help.
