Re: Handbrake not installable due to missing dependencies

[Mads Hansen <d@taba.se>]

the jessie version of handbrake which should solve the dependency problems.

On that note, anyone willing to sponsor the following dependencies
needed by handbrake?

https://mentors.debian.net/package/libdvdnav
https://mentors.debian.net/package/a52dec
