Title:
  Installation of libav-tools produces dpkg error

Status in “libav” package in Ubuntu:
  Fix Released
Status in “libav” source package in Trusty:
  Triaged

Bug description:
  I installed the package libav-tools using the command

  sudo apt-get install libav-tools

  This did install the package, but it produced a dpkg error on the way. The output is given below.
  My system is a live CD of Xubuntu 14.04 with virtually no changes (so it's clean).

  I don't know if the problem is with apt-get or with libav-tools.

  Expected behaviour: apt-get install to complete with no dpkg
  reconfigure errors

  Actual behaviour: apt-get install encountered dpkg reconfigure errors
