Comment:

 This was due to the removal of these deprecated symbols in the specified
 version of ffmpeg-devel.  New names had been introduced much earlier with
 the deprecated names retained.  This is the nature of ffmpeg-devel (being
 the development version of ffmpeg taken from git master) and should be
 considered to be a hint that the program that is broken is still using
 outdated/deprecated API and should be updated to use  the newer preferred
 replacements before the next major release of stable ffmpeg.

 The issue was fixed a while back by upstream updates to opencv.

 Bottom line is ffmpeg-devel is for testing coming versions of ffmpeg and
 shouldn't be used for production purposes.
