    _______________________________________________________

Details:

Version 1.2.2 of the video package does not build without libavresample-dev
installed in the system (at least in Debian), even though this package is not
listed in the BuildRequires field of the DESCRIPTION file.  This is caused by
the following lines in src/configure.ac:


AC_CHECK_LIB([avresample], [avresample_close], [],
             [AC_MSG_ERROR([$PACKAGE_NAME requires libavresample from
FFmpeg])])


At any rate, this check seems useless, because none of the functions in
libavresample seems to be used in the package.

Please, either include libavresample-dev in BuildRequires or drop the lines
above from src/configure.ac.

Thanks,

Rafael Laboissière
