Everything goes fine until I run the following command.

"sudo apt-get -qq install libopencv-dev build-essential checkinstall
cmake pkg-config yasm libjpeg-dev libjasper-dev libavcodec-dev
libavformat-dev libswscale-dev libdc1394-22-dev libxine-dev
libgstreamer0.10-dev libgstreamer-plugins-base0.10-dev libv4l-dev

libmp3lame-dev libopencore-amrnb-dev libopencore-amrwb-dev libtheora-dev
libvorbis-dev libxvidcore-dev x264 v4l-utils"

When I run the above command, it gives me the following error:

"E: Package 'libxine-dev' has no installation candidate"

I have python 3.8.9 installed on Ubuntu 16.04.7

Ubuntu 16.04, libxine-dev is not found, fails the rest. Maybe it should be on a separate line?

Same problem here, but Ubuntu 18.04.1

$ sudo apt-get -qq install libopencv-dev build-essential checkinstall cmake pkg-config yasm libjpeg-dev libjasper-dev libavcodec-dev libavformat-dev libswscale-dev libdc1394-22-dev libxine-dev libgstreamer0.10-dev libgstreamer-plugins-base0.10-dev libv4l-dev python-dev python-numpy libtbb-dev libqt4-dev libgtk2.0-dev libmp3lame-dev libopencore-amrnb-dev libopencore-amrwb-dev libtheora-dev libvorbis-dev libxvidcore-dev x264 v4l-utils ```

throws me:


E: Unable to locate package libxine-dev
E: Unable to locate package libgstreamer0.10-dev
E: Couldn't find any package by glob 'libgstreamer0.10-dev'E: Couldn't find any package by regex 'libgstreamer0.10-dev'
E: Unable to locate package libgstreamer-plugins-base0.10-devE: Couldn't find any package by glob 'libgstreamer-plugins-base0.10-dev'
E: Couldn't find any package by regex 'libgstreamer-plugins-base0.10-dev'

I've tried different ways to install libxine-dev effortless. Any idea how to solve it?

I'm using ubuntu 18.04, and still got the same error.
I tried 'libxine2' instead of 'libxine-dev' and it works !
