I can't seem to install vlc-plugin-libde265, it's looking for libde265(>=1.02). Any ideas what to do about this?

$ sudo apt-get install vlc-plugin-libde265

  • Works fine here, that is a ppa version of vlc, (mine) & the ppa provides both the plugin (vlc-libde265 (0.1.7-1ppa1~trusty1.1)) & the lib, (libde265 (1.0.2-1ppa1~trusty1.1)) . Just tested and both installed fine. Don't find askubuntu good for troubleshooting like this, on ubuntu forums would gladly help you. Otherwise maybe try some apt-cache policy on both packages, ect. & good luck – doug Jul 28 '16 at 02:32
  • What ppa did you use? I'll try asking in ubuntu forums as well. Thanks! – mionnaise Jul 28 '16 at 02:39
  • The same where you got vlc, trusty-media. (I created & maintain it.) So ck. post 3 in uf thread & we can fix this in short order. (though starting to get late here... – doug Jul 28 '16 at 03:49

    What is our output of apt-cache policy vlc-plugin-libde265 libde265? Please edit your question to add it and then notify me with a comment "@ByteCommander". Thanks. – Byte Commander Jul 28 '16 at 06:52
  • @ByteCommander I've edited my question adding the results of apt-cahce – mionnaise Jul 29 '16 at 03:28
  • @ByteCommander, I've already got the solution from Ubuntu Forums. You were on the right path too. Thanks a bunch! – mionnaise Jul 29 '16 at 03:36

sudo apt-get install ppa-purge
sudo ppa-purge ppa:strukturag/libde265
