dear all:
i have run "pkg upgrade " in freebsd14.3 . now the xfreerdp and vncviewer can't work normal . error was below .
$xfreerdp
ld-elf.so.1: /usr/local/lib/libswscale.so.7: version LIBSWSCALE_7 required by /usr/local/lib/libfreerdp2.so.2 not defined

$ vncviewer
ld-elf.so.1: /usr/local/lib/libavcodec.so.60: version LIBAVCODEC_60 required by /usr/local/bin/vncviewer not defined

$pkg info ffmpeg
ffmpeg-6.1.2_16,1

we lost libavcodec.so.60 and libswscale.so.7 , right ?
if yes, how to install those dll in freebsd14.3 ? thanks.

Nope.

Verify that they are in ldconfig(8) path and try again.
Code: 
# service ldconfig start
...
# ldconfig -r | grep -E 'lib(avcodec|swscale)'
    729:-lswscale.7 => /usr/local/lib/libswscale.so.7
    822:-lavcodec.60 => /usr/local/lib/libavcodec.so.60

If they are and it doesn't solve, try pkg install -Rf xfreerdp tigervnc-viewer
 
This doesn't look like a dynamic linker search path issue. The shared libraries are missing the embedded version definition.

The version of multimedia/ffmpeg I have installed on my system is the same as fff2024g has, but from a previous "latest" repo build batch (around Oct 13, minus a few days, 2025), which contains the embedded version definition:
Rich (BB code): 
% pkg info -E ffmpeg
ffmpeg-6.1.2_16,1

% strings /usr/local/lib/libavcodec.so.60 | grep LIBAVCODEC_60
LIBAVCODEC_60

% strings /usr/local/lib/libswscale.so.7 | grep LIBSWSCALE_7
LIBSWSCALE_7
The current version of those ffmpeg shared libraries from 2025-Oct-29 "latest" [1], and 2025-Oct-30, "quarterly" [2] don't have the version defined.


I have a similar problem with x11-toolkits/libadwaita, upgraded on Oct 13, 2025:
Code: 
% gnome-calculator
ld-elf.so.1: /usr/local/lib/libadwaita-1.so.0: version LIBADWAITA_1_0 required by /usr/local/bin/gnome-calculator not defined
Indeed, the libadwaita shared library is missing the embedded version definition:
Rich (BB code): 
% pkg info -E libadwaita
libadwaita-1.7.7

% strings /usr/local/lib/libadwaita-1.so.0 | grep LIBADWAITA_1_0

A previous version, extracted from it's package, contains the embedded version definition:
Rich (BB code): 
% cat +COMPACT_MANIFEST
{"name":"libadwaita","origin":"x11-toolkits/libadwaita","version":"1.7.2", ...

% strings /tmp/libadwaita/usr/local/lib/libadwaita-1.so.0 | grep LIBADWAITA_1_0
LIBADWAITA_1_0
These issues have not been reported in problem reports or mailing lists recently either, at least I couldn't find any. I'm still trying to determine what might be the cause of the missing version definitions.

If someone has an idea, please step forward.

There is a multitude of PR-s on this topic.
Multiple ports were / are affected, many have a common theme related to environ and __progname.

I think that PR 285401 with 68 comments is the most prominent.
Another informative one (and a slightly different but related issue) is PR 281440
.
 
thanks for all :
i think my question was : ffmpeg upgrade cause.
if i want to return old ffmpeg version. how to do that ?
1. which command can list all ffmpeg old version ,and can be install with pkg command
thanks.

Is your ffmpeg built locally from ports?

The commit 7f9d8df0bafb from the mail doesn't appear in the official ports tree git log. Is this a commit to a local clone?

Also, patching the ffmpeg port (main ports tree) with the diff from the mail results in a reject, and malformed patch error:

For your problem, open a PR, report multimedia/ffmpeg.

There is a bug report with the same problem on multimedia/mplayer , fixed with a ffmpeg update (Comment # 3).

Click to expand...
You need to build it from ports, after cloning a local copy of the ports tree, and checkout a previous ffmpeg version. But I donn't know if a older version will solve the problem.

fff2024g said:

Click to expand...
There is no command to list older package version, as there are no official package repositories storing older versions.

There are one or two package repositories for each branch, RELEASE (and STABLE I believe) has "quarterly" and "latest" repositories, CURRENT has one "latest". Every time the repositories are updated, older package versions are deleted.

Here are the repositories for FreeBSD:14:amd64:

Under the "All" directory are all the packages stored. That directory is not accessible for browsing by web browser or other directory listing utilities (403 Forbidden).

But you can download individual packages from that directory, for example:

wget  https://pkg.freebsd.org/FreeBSD:14:amd64/quarterly/All/ffmpeg-6.1.2_16,1.pkg

pkg  fetch -o /tmp ffmpeg-6.1.2_16,1.pkg

I just manually applied this patch to the latest ffmpeg port (the port has changed since the patch made in the email), it worked like a charm, vncviewer works again. Hope this can be merged to the port tree soon.

Dear hanwen :
i have reinstall ffmpeg from ports, why i still not solve my question ? i am new guy.
please show me how to fix this issue step by step ... thanks.

The required changes haven't been applied to the port, naturally the port won't build then ffmpeg with the LIBSWSCALE_7 and LIBAVCODEC_60 symbols, necessary for xfreerdp and vncviewer.

This issue seems not be reported yet on https://bugs.freebsd.org. To get the issue solved in the ports tree, open a problem report.

Meanwhile, try the patch below. Since hanwen seems to have success with manual patching, I applied the differences from Andriy's patch manually as well and created a new diff file.

Save the code, apply patch.

Apply patch using git-apply(1)
Code: 
/usr/ports # git apply /path/to/ffmpeg.patch

If you want to reverse the patch after building the port with the patch:
Code: 
/usr/ports # git apply -R  /path/to/ffmpeg.patch

Apply patch with patch(1)
Code: 
ports/multimedia/ffmpeg # patch -p 3  <  /path/to/ffmpeg.patch

Reverse the patch:
