Adept wants to downgrade ffmpeg.

[ob211]

I recently built ffmpeg from source and used checkinstall to install it, but everytime I go into adept it wants to downgrade it to the version in the repositorys (even though I set the version info on the .deb to 999).

Re: Adept wants to downgrade ffmpeg.

Apt-get sees the ffmpeg you built as a different version, so the only real way to fix this is to make sure the version/name is fully higher version number than the one in the repos, or else you can "pin" your package

and section 3.10 here:

Also if you use synaptic, you can use the "lock version" in the Package menu

I dont use synaptic, but pinning the package worked good.
