Subject: ffmpeg doesn't return version
I've installed ffmpeg from
http://oktan.ls.fi.upm.es/debian-multimedia/stable/main and executing
ffmpeg -version returns:

So, version is empty. Although doing:

$ dpkg -l ffmpeg
Deseado=Desconocido/Instalar/Eliminar/Purgar/Retener

ii  ffmpeg                5:0.7.11-0.0          audio/video encoder,
streaming server & audio/video file c


I need that ffmpeg returns version because otherwise drupal video doesn't
detect ffmpeg rightly.

Thanks in advance.
