   |  This means that vlc08, as well as nucleo (see
   |  pkg/41713) probably need to be upgraded accordingly once they're fixed
   |  to use the new swscaler API.
 
 nucleo has been upgraded (by Hasso Tepper - just a couple of hours
 before you sent that message), the new version builds fine with
 ffmpeg as it exists now.
 
 For vlc08, maybe it is simply time to retire it?   Note that vlc
 (the newer version) builds fine, it is only the outdated version that
 has the problem.   Simply removing it as obsolete and unbuildable
 might be the correct answer for this PR.
