Solved libx264 conflicts installs file in the same place

[EmeraldBot]

Hello,

For today's problem, we have:

pkg-static: libx264-0.142.2455 conflicts with x264-0.136.2358_4 (installs files into the same place).  Problematic file: /usr/local/include/x264.h

I get this when I try to upgrade multimedia/libx264. Anyone know how to fix it?

I saw that also. It looked like an earlier version of the same thing, so I just uninstalled the conflicting version and installed the new one. That's pretty haphazard, and I normally would not be quite that reckless, but there were other port issues that were more concerning.

The right way to do this is to enter a PR reporting the conflict. Either one port needs to be modified, or possibly an entry needs to be added to /usr/ports/UPDATING or /usr/ports/MOVED.

Same problem. removed multimedia/x264 and conflict gone.

multimedia/x264: General overhaul

- Split x264 into two ports: the CLI application (x264), and the library
(libx264). This will allow x264 to use lavf and friends from ffmpeg for
decoding and demuxing while preventing a circular dependency between the
two: x264 can depend on ffmpeg, but ffmpeg will depend on libx264 rather
than x264.
- Add the LAVF option to the CLI port, making the dependency on ffmpeg
optional.
- Update to 0.142.2455.
- Amend fixes to local patches so that they can apply to the new upstream
files.
- Provide the git revision and other version information to the build
environment, allowing the CLI binary to display this information (like the
Windows builds).
- Remove unsupported build options (X11_OUTPUT).
- Ensure that the library and CLI ports each have the appropriate options.
- Add notes for future contributors who wish to update the ports.
- Bump PORTREVISION for all dependent ports.

Ah, thank you! Removing multimedia/x264 fixes the issue for me. An UPDATING entry wouldn't be a bad idea, I think.

What do you mean by "Removing"? From /usr/ports? I try updating ffmpeg or libx264 and both complain about the same thing and renaming x264 didn't fix anything for me.

I removed multimedia/x264 and installed multimedia/libx264.

 

[drhowarddrfine]

Well, here's a fix from the mailing list that worked for me.

pkg delete -f x264-0.136.2358_4
portmaster multimedia/libx264 multimedia/x264

 

[wblock@]

That is what we have been saying, yes.

 

[drhowarddrfine]

So by "removed multimedia/x264" he meant "uninstalled multimedia/x264".

 

[wblock@]

In my case, it was pkg delete x264-0.136.2358_4, but yes.

 

[EmeraldBot]

Yes, that's what I meant. Sorry if it wasn't clear - I uninstalled multimedia/x264 and installed multimedia/libx264. There's an UPDATING entry for it now, which gives more precise instructions.
