The first ubuntu to support ocrmypdf is 16.10 hence the error on 16.04. I haven't specifically checked how to get it working on 16.04. Try replacing the various libav* packages with simply "unpaper" and letting Ubuntu figure out how to satisfy those dependencies. Ocrmypdf does not require the libav* packages itself, these are used by unpaper. Unpaper is optional anyway, only required for the --clean argument.

I updated the installation instructions with steps for Ubuntu 16.04. I have tested them on a fresh Docker image of Ubuntu 16.04. Please try the new steps and re-open this issue if you have any trouble.

Just got the source .list file for the libav PPA in your /etc/apt/sources.list.d/ directory and using $nano just edit the deb / deb-src lines to use "trusty" in place of the "your ubuntu dist" / "xenial" etc.

P.S. if you don't know what your system is go to terminal and run;
uname -a
this will give you a liner of your systems spec

then more importantly though, if you don't know which release of ubuntu you are on, then you can run;
lsb_release
if this shows nothing or an error such as "no LSB release" etc then just yank out the damn distro;
sudo nano /etc/lsb-release
take note of the release version number i.e. 14.04,16.04,18.04 etc. and specifically, the name of your dist.

I have done this in the past sucessfully but be forewarned here... this is placing your system in danger of breaking (technically). You just don't usually mix dist types of PPA's on a system... leads to bad conflicts--as a rule of thumb. Since I am familiar with this exact repository and what it contains, I am confident in suggesting your "testing" of my provided suggested course of action(s). =]

email me at artik@cock.li if you need further help

@ninetyfivenorth This is quite an old issue, it's not current, and your instructions seem to be giving general advice about Ubuntu rather than ocrmypdf. I welcome contributions generally, but I am letting you know that I am removing your comment because I don't believe it will be helpful to any users. For one thing, I'm not entirely sure what your concern is. If you do have a specific comment on the installation instructions for ocrmypdf, please open a new issue and we can discuss them there.
