<p dir="auto">I installed and reinstalled multiple times the latest version of Opera (44.0.2510.1449) and each time I start it I got the following error :</p>
<pre><code>$ opera
[1]    5247 segmentation fault  opera
</code></pre>
<p dir="auto">When I use ldd on /usr/bin/opera, <a href="http://libffmpeg.so" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow ugc">libffmpeg.so</a> is missing :</p>
<pre><code>$ ldd /usr/bin/opera | grep 'not found'
    libffmpeg.so =&gt; not found
</code></pre>
<p dir="auto">But the file is here :</p>
<pre><code>$ ll /usr/lib64/opera/libffmpeg.so
-rw-r--r-- 1 root root 1551320 Apr 24 19:04 /usr/lib64/opera/libffmpeg.so
</code></pre>
<p dir="auto">If I ldd opera binary in /usr/lib64/opera the library is found :</p>
<pre><code>$ ldd opera | grep ffmpeg     
    libffmpeg.so =&gt; /usr/lib64/opera/././libffmpeg.so (0x00007f4e68992000)
</code></pre>
<p dir="auto">Starting directly the binary inside that directory produce the same issue. So I backtrace through gdb after the crash :</p>
<pre><code>(gdb) run --single-process
