Re: Webbrowser min will not start

My libavcodec.so is at version 58 currently, so it's too new for you too I guess.  Mine got installed when I installed ffmpeg as a dependency of mplayer it seems.

Unfortunately I had to clear out my pacman cache the other day as my /var partition filled up too much, and the only old version of ffmpeg I have also has libavcodec.so.58 in it, so I'm not sure how far you'd need to go back to get so.57.

Re: Webbrowser min will not start

electron fails from version to version in really stupid ways because they try to build half of an operating system
instead of using system libaries. Currently in :

FAILED: brotli
python "../../build/toolchain/gcc_link_wrapper.py" --output="./brotli" -- clang++ -fPIC -Wl,-z,noexecstack -Wl,-z,now -Wl,-z,relro -Wl,-z,defs -Wl,--no-as-needed -lpthread -Wl,--as-needed -fuse-ld=gold -B../../third_party/binutils/Linux_x64/Release/bin -m32 -Wl,-O2 -Wl,--gc-sections -nostdlib++ -Wl,-rpath-link=. -Wl,--disable-new-dtags -Wl,-O1,--sort-common,--as-needed,-z,relro,-z,now -o "./brotli" -Wl,--start-group @"./brotli.rsp"  -Wl,--end-group   -ldl -lpthread -lrt
clang-7: error: unable to execute command: posix_spawn failed: No such file or directory
clang-7: error: linker command failed with exit code 1 (use -v to see invocation)

The reasons, why it's not fixed yet, are:
a) more important things failing currently
b) I'm personally not aware of any software I'm using which uses electron, so...
c) limited amount of hands..

Re: Webbrowser min will not start

So, electron is downloading a binutils package for the platform (in our case Linux_x64 is wrong, should be Linux_i32). This is quite
insance, but well, I think patchable..
