As Jason Craig says, you probably want the libavdcodec from packman.

Thank you both for your insights, and for redirecting the conversation to the correct list. I guess I'll try switching over to the Packman repository.

Reminds me, it was reccomended long ago to not have both videolan and packman repos active.

Out of curiosity, do we know why libavcodec59 is absent from the videolan.org repo? https://en.opensuse.org/VLC says that…

Good question.

...

Full power VLC and libav/ffmpeg are available in Packman and VLC repository

… but does not elaborate on the differences between those two repositories. Reading this (and the identical installation procedures that follow), I figured that both repos should provide the same capabilities; IIUC this is not the case?

I don't know. It is a question for the videolan people, I think. -- Cheers / Saludos, Carlos E. R. (from Elesar, using openSUSE Leap 15.3)

Well, you artificially restricted the list of available repositories for this invocation to just Packman so zypper could not find/use package from standard Tumbleweed. I do not know why you used "--repo Packman" in the first place.

Solution 1: do not install libavcodec59-5.1-2.7.x86_64 Solution 2: break libavcodec59-5.1-2.7.x86_64 by ignoring some of its dependencies Choose from above solutions by number or cancel [1/2/c/d/?] (c): c

OK, so I manually installed libjxl0_7 and then installation of libavcodec59 from Packman worked. Now, I must just lock the package(s) from that repo so 'zypper dup' doesn't overwrite them every time. And now, as I have...

zypper does not switch vendors by default so either packages will be updated from Packman or you may get some package dependencies problem (like above) that you need then resolve manually. Unless you changed default configuration and allowed vendor change.

I use "--repo Packman" because otherwise zypper would install it from OSS as that repo has higher priority.

No. It would have happened only if two version strings were exactly identical. In your case they are different and zypper even helpfully told you what you needed to do. You just needed to request exact version in which case there would be only one match and repo priorities would not matter. ...

zypp.conf has the default "solver.allowVendorChange = false", so this should be fine...? The only issue might be that libjxl0_7 is available only in OSS and not Packman, but this shouldn't be problem, should it...?

Nothing is wrong with building package in one repository against package in another repository, especially if this "another" repository is the default system repository which is expected to be always available. Which is why you should never arbitrarily restrict repositories to use unless you know exactly what you are doing. I have no idea whether replacement for libjxl0_7 exists in Packman.

I normally prefer to install as much as possible from OSS...

Except with Packman. When a (multimedia) package is offered by Packman, you really need the Packman version instead. The OSS version is limited by definition. -- Cheers / Saludos, Carlos E. R. (from 15.3 x86_64 at Telcontar)

Of course. But preferably only multimedia from Packman, rest from OSS.

When a package does exist in Packman, 99% of the time the OSS version is limited. They don't put a package in Pacman if they are going to be the same thing. There are exceptions some times, as with Lazarus, which is apparently needed for building other packages. -- Cheers / Saludos, Carlos E. R. (from 15.3 x86_64 at Telcontar)
