Mint 17.2 Mate 64 bit LiveMedia system
How can I install 'ffmpeg' on my system ...
(as 'sudo'): I have tried using 'avconv' which DOES install, but most examples I have found are for 'ffmpeg'. Does this error mean that
'ffmpeg' is not included in the package manager?
I'm using LM-17.2 due to several incompatibilities with later versions. Thank you for any and all comments, suggestions, and assistance.
Blessings in abundance, all the best, & ENJOY!

This happens when you try to install a package about which APT does not have any idea. When you add software sources, you need to do an
apt-get update
so that your system APT's database is updated with all the packages on the repositories listed in the software sources lists.Then when you try to install any package, APT checks the package name in it's database, finds it and checks the name of the repo from where it got it. It then downloads the package from that repo.
This means of all the repositories listed in your software sources, none of them have the package named
munin-memcached
. I checked again and it is not available in official Ubuntu repos.After a bit of googling I found that it is available in this PPA: chris-lea/munin-plugins
Add this PPA and install the packages at your own risk. I do not know this person.
To add the PPA, issue the below command:

That means that some installed package is saying that it needs a package called munin-memcached to work. But the package manager doesn't find it in the repositories. It is usually followed by some info about what packages are missing it, but it didn't here.
There is no package name munin-memcached in the standard Ubuntu repos, so you are likely using some extra repository. If you post it here we can try to found the cause.
