Bug Description
Ubuntu 14.04.
Trying for ages to install XVideoServiceThief but unfortunately, it cannot be installed.
It needs ffmpeg, which the Ubuntu repos do not have.
This needs to be rebuilt to use avconv; or propose a solution....
What I had done:
1. Enabled GetDeb repository
2. Tried to apt-get install xvst
The expected result:
XVST should have been installed
The actual result:
Error. Got "xvst: requires ffmpeg but is not installable"

Dangit, my wife, Vanessa, an equally smart Linux nerd (we used a Unix-like OS called OS-9 for our TRS-80 Color Computer way back when... I digress), spent 5 minutes and found a solution:
She found the answer here: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=2291814
Just need to enable a PPA: sudo add-apt-repository -y ppa:mc3man/trusty-media
sudo apt-get update
then...
sudo apt-get -y install xvst
Voila. Installed.
