 Unless
 you've already changed something an apt-get update &
 upgrade
 should sort things out now.

It did, though the update claimed I was already had the latest ffmpeg.  Perhaps the option fix to point to the right place was all I really needed.

And yes, I'll be looking at moving up distros at some point, but I'm an old warhorse at heart, pining for a VT52

Thanks for the help
