I need to install the package ffmpeg because I am trying to install subsonic server on my new Ubuntu Gnome 14.04
When I try:
apt-get install ffmpeg
I get:
Some packages could not be installed. This may mean that you have
requested an impossible situation or if you are using the unstable
distribution that some required packages have not yet been created
or been moved out of Incoming.
The following information may help to resolve the situation:
The following packages have unmet dependencies:
ffmpeg : Depends: libavcodec54 (>= 7:1.2.5~) but it is not going to be installed or
libavcodec-extra-54 (>= 7:1.2.5~) but it is not going to be installed
Depends: libavdevice53 (>= 7:1.2.5~) but it is not going to be installed
Depends: libavfilter3 (>= 7:1.2.5~) but it is not going to be installed
Depends: libavformat54 (>= 7:1.2.5~) but it is not going to be installed
E: Unable to correct problems, you have held broken packages.
I have tried
apt-get -f install ffmpeg
apt-get install --fix-broken
apt-get autoclean
apt-get autoremove
With no luck at all. I found a repository and added it to my sources via:
add-apt-repository ppa:jon-severinsson/ffmpeg
With still no luck. I found this question Is FFmpeg missing from the official repositories in 14.04? which led me to try this:
apt-get install libav-tools
which resulted in this:

I also have made sure my "Software & Updates" have all the proper repositiories checked off, namely all 4 on the "Ubuntu Software" tab, and all on the "Other Software" tab with the exception of the second one (Canonical Partners Source Code). I also have these checked off as well per instructions supplied on the page they lead to:
http://ppa.launchpad.net/jon-severinsson/ffmpeg/ubuntu saucy main
http://ppa.launchpad.net/jon-severinsson/ffmpeg/ubuntu trusty main
None of this works. How can I install ffmpeg? Or if I cannot install it, what do I need to install to replace its functionality?
