I edited /etc/apt/source.list to have restricted and partner repository, but the results always:

sudo apt-get install libfaac-dev ....
....
E: Unable to locate package libfaac-dev

The package is used by audio codecs, and ffmpeg uses it.

libfaac-dev is in multiverse repository. So, you need to edit /etc/apt/sources.list to include multiverse repository as well.

After you change it, run the following command to install libfaac-dev:

sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get install libfaac-dev
