Now that #498397 is fixed in the ffmpeg-debian upload version 0.svn20080206-13, vlc should build correctly now on mipsen. Can you please add a dep-wait on ffmpeg accordingly? I'm not sure what the correct syntax is, let's try like this: dep-wait vlc ffmpeg-debian 0.svn20080206-13 gb vlc 0.8.6.h-4 . mips mipsel -- Gruesse/greetings, Reinhard Tartler, KeyID 945348A4
