Hello,
I realized, that on my C2 ffmpeg (BloodyFoxy) from OpenRepos is installed. The last update was 10 years ago therefore it’s pretty outdated.
However, I tried to uninstall it, but Storeman shows “removing” forever but doesn’t remove it. Uninstallation with pkcon is also not possible.
How do I get rid of this old package? Thanks!
cmdline with pkcon or zypper.
I assume you do not have zypper manually installed
Never did that yet, but something like
I do not think you have to uninstall anything. I think we’re just in front one of those odd cases where the package has the same name of another one (or a different version), so when it appears on Storeman it looks like it is installed, while the actually installed version is another one.
Be aware, the other one package might even be from other sources, so you do not find it in Storeman. I ignore it, but maybe now ffmpeg comes with Sailfish by default.
Moreover, I checked on OpenRepos, and the package that you find there is, as I understand, only for 32 bit architectures therefore it cannot be the same.
IMO, let it be.
Cheers and Happy New Year.
Edit: bits and odds.
But when I check the version in the terminal I get 5.1.6, like the last version of the OpenRepos version I seem to have installed.
I have the Jolla Store, Chum and OpenRepos as software sources. OpenRepos is the only one showing results for “ffmpeg” at all. Therefore I assume, OpenRepos must be the source of the installed package…
If ffmpeg comes with SFOS it should be newer, shouldn’t it? Also there’s another package in OpenRepos, which has been updated lately, which I can’t install (just refresh cache, which also doesn’t help).
So if I want a more current version of ffmpeg, how do I do that?
No, I don’t have zypper installed, I supposed, pkcon is enough. I tried what the guide suggests, without success.

Thanks, then I understand that @marbalf was right and the source is the default jolla version (which is pretty old and raised my confusion) and not the OpenRepos version (explaines, why it can’t uninstall it). I’ll mark that as solution.
Thank you for clarifying my confusion and HAPPY NEW YEAR!!!
