I hit this yesterday. chromaprint has ffmpeg as an optional dependency, and vice
versa. So, circular dependency. Eventually this worked for me:

 - Build and install ffmpeg without chromaprint (no CHROMAPRINT=yes in the build
line) (VERSION=1a so upgradepkg will install it)
 - Build and install chromaprint
 - Rebuild and install ffmpeg, adding CHROMAPRINT=yes

Maybe I could have built chromaprint twice instead of ffmpeg, but it's done now.

Cheers ... Duncan.
