When attempting to run ffmpeg, I get the following error:

I assume this is related to Unable to install libav-tools, ffmpeg etc. on Stretch, but that one doesn't apply to the cubox-i. How would one go about addressing this, since this platform does not appear to use xbian-package-firmware?

That's right, its the firmware-imx package, which has the same wrong dependencies. Unfortunately I haven't had time to fix this Will see if I can do this next days

@tempest

Build a (quick and dirty ) firmware today, which allows proper installation of ffmpeg and all subpackages

Please download this firmware package, install this package with sudo dpkg -i and after that, you have to run sudo apt-get install -f to repair missing dependencies


ffmpeg starts up without any issues, and Kodi still doesn't complain anything

Woah, thanks! I found that at first I got the error:
I had to run: to get it to run properly.

edit: It is entirely possible that I have done something with my system to cause this, so it may not reflect the current xbian image. I am happy to verify this if needed.

Maybe you have removed this missing lib manually. On my system this lib was already there, so there were no need for reinstalling it

did you run sudo apt-get install -f ?

I did indeed. It installed quite a few things without complaint. It is possible it was autoremoved yesterday, but I never uninstalled it manually.

Could be, but in that case apt-get install -f should reinstall this package automatically (if dependencies of all installed packages are correct)

Okay, I installed firmware-imx, did an apt-get -f install, and installed ffmpeg on a *completely* virgin and up to date install. I still get the libXdamage error.

That's weird

I have that lib (libxdamage1) installed, but having absolutely no idea where it came from ??? Maybe it was installed before I was upgrading from Jessie to Stretch

Edit:

Ah, found where it came from: xbian-package-xbmc had a hard-coded dependency to libxdamage1 (see this commit) which was removed some months ago because it was not required by Kodi

Seems that the automatic dependency generator still does not find all required packages
