Package libav-tools is not available, but is referred to by another package.
This may mean that the package is missing, has been obsoleted, or
is only available from another source

E: Package 'libav-tools' has no installation candidate

The install.sh script will need to be updated to take this into account.

Hm, we already require you to install ffmpeg, which itself depends on all the av* stuff we care about (I assume):

$ apt-cache depends ffmpeg
ffmpeg
 |Depends: libavcodec57
  Depends: libavcodec-extra57
  Depends: libavdevice57
 |Depends: libavfilter6
  Depends: libavfilter-extra6
  Depends: libavformat57
  Depends: libavresample3
  Depends: libavutil55
  Depends: libc6
  Depends: libpostproc54
  Depends: libsdl2-2.0-0
  Depends: libswresample2
  Depends: libswscale4
  Breaks: <libav-tools>
  Breaks: <qt-faststart>
  Suggests: ffmpeg-doc
  Replaces: <libav-tools>
  Replaces: <qt-faststart>

I think we can probably just remove the references to libav-tools.

Huh, it even says ffmpeg replaces libav-tools. Do you know what it is that UltraTrace needs from there?

[keggsmurph21]

Haha I don't think we even need ffmpeg: d2393e3 seems to work ok?

ffprobe comes with ffmpeg (on Fedora, at least) and removing ffmpeg gives this error when running python3 -m ultratrace

/usr/local/lib/python3.11/site-packages/pydub-0.23.1-py3.11.egg/pydub/utils.py:193: RuntimeWarning: Couldn't find ffprobe or avprobe - defaulting to ffprobe, but may not work warn("Couldn't find ffprobe or avprobe - defaulting to ffprobe, but may not work", RuntimeWarning) ERROR: Unable to load audio file: '../ultrasound-data-example-master/20150629171639.flac' [Errno 2] No such file or directory: 'ffprobe'

[jonorthwash]

Yeah, ffmpeg is a dependency of pydub. What do we rely on pydub for again?

There's a difference between starting up successfully and actually doing things. Do you have access to data to test with, @keggsmurph21?
