I have manually installed ffmpeg which I built from source with GPU support,but when 

sudo apt install kdenlive

System tells that 

The following additional packages will be installed:
  ffmpeg

Would you please tell me how to make ubuntu to recognize the manually installed ffmpeg to stop installing another one?

  • apt has no idea what is installed by make install and is not supposed to know that. – Pilot6 Jun 08 '20 at 13:29
  • Usually it doesn't matter because make installs in /usr/share which is used before the other version anyway. If you have two versions installed, the system will use the one in /usr/share – mchid Jun 08 '20 at 14:20

Not with apt. Install theequivs package to generate meta-packages, and then use dpkg to install kdenlive. Ubuntuforums on this
