Asunder missing "fdkaac" for m4a support

DarkCerberus

Hello, I've just tried Solus OS for the first time coming from both Arch Linux and Ubuntu and also Windows 10. I'm trying to get Asunder CD Ripper to default to the AAC format (m4a) however its complaining that its missing the fdkaac package I've looked on the system and the package manager cannot find a fdkaac package but states that fdk-aac with the minus is installed. Would it be possible to get this fixed? I'm fine with soundconverter as it has already detected the m4a audio file format and its out of the box with the support but Asunder isn't.

sudo eopkg it fdk-aac

This is what the output states:
The following package(s) are already installed and are not going to be installed again: fdk-aac No packages to install.

And what's the exact error message you're getting ?

kyrios I said it in the Original first post, please re-read it! "fdkaac" is missing, the actual fdk-aac package isn't recognized by Asunder and needs the "fdkaac" package in the repository only fdk-aac is found not fdkaac.

So the exact error message is "fdkaac" is missing, the actual fdk-aac package isn't recognized by Asunder and needs the "fdkaac" package in the repository only fdk-aac is found not fdkaac. ?

That's a weird message

I have the same problem! I think the problem is the "-" of "fdk-aac" of solus. And the asunder need fdkaac without "-" .

That's not a problem with the name but it actually needs a different software than the one that is in the repository.

It likely wants this https://github.com/nu774/fdkaac which is an encoder to the libraries that are packaged.
