Ubuntu 16.04.6 LTS and trying to install ffmpeg.

$ sudo apt install ffmpeg
Reading package lists... Done
Building dependency tree

ffmpeg is already the newest version (7:4.1.3-0york1~16.04).
You might want to run 'apt-get -f install' to correct these:
The following packages have unmet dependencies:
 cuda-libraries-dev-10-1 : Depends: libcublas-dev (>= 10.2.1.243) but it is not going to be installed
 cuda-samples-10-1 : Depends: libcublas-dev (>= 10.2.1.243) but it is not going to be installed
 cuda-visual-tools-10-1 : Depends: libcublas-dev (>= 10.2.1.243) but it is not going to be installed
E: Unmet dependencies. Try 'apt-get -f install' with no packages (or specify a solution).

It says ffmpeg is already the newest version, which it is not (V1.4 is the most current one afaik). I tried checking ffmpeg version:

$ ffmpeg -version
The program 'ffmpeg' is currently not installed. You can install it by typing:
sudo apt install ffmpeg

Note: I looked over other posts and added this apt repo: sudo add-apt-repository ppa:jonathonf/ffmpeg-4

I was able to install ffmpeg using pip3 and that installed to /usr/local/lib/python3.5/dist-packages/ffmpeg.

Can anyone help with this problem?

You can try to build this from sources

$ tar xjf ffmpeg-4.2.1.tar.bz2
$ cd ffmpeg-4.2.1

And use instructions from INSTALL.md file:

  1. Type ./configure to create the configuration. A list of configure options is printed by running configure --help.

    configure can be launched from a directory different from the FFmpeg sources to build the objects out of tree. To do this, use an absolute path when launching configure, e.g. /ffmpegdir/ffmpeg/configure.

  2. Then type make to build FFmpeg. GNU Make 3.81 or later is required.

  3. Type make install to install all binaries and libraries you built.
