I had to install librsvg2-bin but then the installer worked as it should
Very nice, Thanks. :) Although it came too late :( I will change this in the next release.
Great, congratulations, really a well-structured project and functional. I use it regularly and I'm thrilled. Thank you.
Thanks.

السلام عليكم أخي العزيز شكرا على التنبيه مرة ثانية. سآخذ طلبك بعين الاعتبار ولكن ليس الآن.
Yes... in the Archlinux libav --> conflict with ffmpeg : ffmpeg = /usr/bin/ffmpeg libav = /usr/bin/avconv not together !!!
Hi again, libav replaced ffmpeg. You can install one (ffmpeg/libav) but in Curlew you can simply change it by going to advanced->other->converter then choose ffmpeg instead of avconv without added the link. Thank you.

Hi, it worked for fine for me! Please give me the output for avconv -i your_file.
ooops avconv: command not found ??
and ffmpeg ver. 1.0.1
ok....resolv with ln -s "/usr/bin/ffmpeg" "${pkgdir}/usr/bin/avconv"
You can change converter name to ffmpeg in other Tab.
Is there a problem with ffmpeg too?
no. ffmpeg ver 1.0.1 hasn't the command "avconv" So, in the PKGBUILD i've added : ln -s "/usr/bin/ffmpeg" "${pkgdir}/usr/bin/avconv" now work..for Archlinux
Yes, avconv program exist in libav package not in ffmpeg
