Bug Description

pqiv uses a shared library plugin system to be flexible about the availability of backends. ffmpeg is one such possible backend, but not strictly required.

It would be best to rebuild pqiv so that it expects the correct ffmpeg version.

$ ldd /usr/lib/pqiv/pqiv-backend-libav.so | grep libav
libavformat.so.58 => /lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libavformat.so.58 (0x00007f8885cc6000)
libavcodec.so.58 => /lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libavcodec.so.58 (0x00007f88848bf000)
libavutil.so.56 => /lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libavutil.so.56 (0x00007f8884567000)
libavcodec.so.59 => /lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libavcodec.so.59 (0x00007f887d493000)
libavutil.so.57 => /lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libavutil.so.57 (0x00007f887d2b9000)

Thanks for finding and fixing this! I so far assumed such rebuilds would happen automatically, given pqiv Build-Depends on libav. Is there anything I can modify upstream (Debian package or pqiv source) to improve the situation?
