No that sounds perfectly fine. You didn't have the dependencies -f install fixed it. There is no issue here.
I'm bored! Here is a script that automates building the required libs.
Note: You will still need to install a suitable build environment first, containing: autoconf, automake, gcc, gcc-c++, libtool, make, nasm, pkg-config and the zlib development support files.
All paths in my post above that refer to /usr/lib64/opera-developer, should actually state /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/opera. If a moderator drops by and wants to edit and fix my posting, so much the better. In the mean time I have updated the blog post.
They use Openh264.
Using the host OS to decode—for Linux that would be system FFmpeg libs—was considered to produce the best solution for the majority of Opera's desktop users, with the least effort. You should also keep in mind that all solutions are a compromise of some kind.
Switching now to Openh264 would not be a simple undertaking and current solution does work well for many. For those of you encountering problems on Linux, I posted a work around above.
@gustavwiz don't worry I never really moderated anyway. @avl and I discussed this already and if I really wanted mod access I am pretty sure it would be given to me but I don't need it. 
Umm, thanks @avl. I see you guys also removed my moderation rights. Oh well, fair enough I suppose!
Well the only person I knew working on the forums, has also left. Not sure who has taken over. So not sure who to ask about removing my badge.
ruario, all the very best to you. If you end up over at Vivaldi, or Maxthon, I'll be sure to give their browsers a try again. I feel more comfortable using a browser that I know you're standing behind.
Follow me on twitter and you will find out what I do in the future.
