@ultraSsak: you need to first remove freerpd2, update your system, and then recompile it. It is however out-of-date because there's a newer version. Here is the patch: https://pastebin.com/1VRdWgTh

Last release is 2.11.8: https://github.com/FreeRDP/FreeRDP/releases/tag/2.11.8

Edit: the package builds in a clean chroot after bumping the pkgver to 2.11.8 and updating the checksums.

Package is out-of-date and has broken dependencies with ffmpeg. Even after uninstalling freerdp2 and updating ffmpeg, the install breaks because of the said dependencies.

I recommend to switch to the extra/freerdp package which is already up-to-date and does not break your system.

Error building freerdp2:

The built package has compile-time dependencies on various ffmpeg libraries. To fix this issue, simply uninstall this package, upgrade the ffmpeg version and then rebuild freerdp2 (linked to the new ffmpeg version). The PKGBUILD itself still works.
