Mpd broken

Question

Just upgraded mpd to 0.14-2, now mpd won't start, when I try to start it I get this error:
mpd: error while loading shared libraries: libavcodec.so.51: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory
One person in #mpd@freenode told me this was because of ffmpeg problems since /usr/lib/libavcodec.so.52 exists in file system. Running testing btw, any idea on how to fix this? The same person in #mpd told me to downgrade ffmpeg...

Answer 1

The weird thing now is when I've updated abs, but yet when looking at the PKGBUILD it's 0.13-2 not 0.14? Yes abs is up to date, just updated, and checking out the PKGBUILD we find a link to:
http://musicpd.org/uploads/files/
No 0.14 to be found here... but using the PKGBUILD that I got from abs:

pkgname=mpd
pkgver=0.13.2

make DESTDIR=${startdir}/pkg install
install -D ../mpd ${startdir}/pkg/etc/rc.d/mpd

mkdir -p ${startdir}/pkg/var/lib/mpd/playlists
mkdir -p ${startdir}/pkg/var/log/mpd
mkdir -p ${startdir}/pkg/var/run/mpd
Now it works again, symlinking 'works' but as said earlier it can introduce hard to track bugs ... obviously it's 0.13.2 not 0.14. Main thing for me is that it works anyway
Edit: Checked the bug tracker so this is a known bug now and since it hasn't been resolved yet I get why we have 0.13.2 and not 0.14
