[SOLVED] ffmpeg upgraded by apt-get

Hello,

My problem is not 100% serviio but i may not be alone to face with it , i installed serviio under ubuntu server 12.10 , i compiled manually everything following this http://wiki.serviio.org/doku.php?id=build_ffmpeg_linux

my problem is ffmpeg is overrided by apt-upgrade

Package Description Status Source
ffmpeg amd64 Package created with checkinstall 1.6.2 New version 0.8.4-0ubuntu0.12.10.1 Quantal-security

if i do the upgrade then serviio don't work anymore

what i need to do to prevent this upgrade to happen ?

Thanks!

Uninstall ffmpeg using apt so that it no longer manages it, then install your compiled version.

well this is what i did : apt-get remove ffmpeg (even prior the first time) , then i redo a "sudo checkinstall --pkgname=ffmpeg --pkgversion="5:$(date +%Y%m%d%H%M)-git" --backup=no \
--deldoc=yes --fstrans=no --default " on the src folder , once finished and after a package refresh then apt-get want to upgrade ffmpeg !

i should miss something but what ?

Make sure you run apt-get update after any changes.

no luck :'( , i made an apt-get update after each step and this did not change anything

i tried with dselect but does not work
dselect
dselect: error: foreign architectures enabled but multi-arch is not supported
root@ubuntu:/src/ffmpeg#

i feel nervous as i have another ubuntu server where i also compiled ffmpeg and i never had this problem , grrrrrrrrrrrrr

solved with echo "ffmpeg hold" | sudo dpkg --set-selections



dpkg --get-selections | grep "ffmpeg"
ffmpeg hold
gstreamer0.10-ffmpeg:amd64 install

after a package refresh then ffmpeg is no longer present

thank you for your answers
