I have a Raspberry Pi 2 which is running Raspbian (Noobs 1.9.2).
I'm able to install the libavcodev-dev package with the following command:
sudo apt-get install libavcodec-dev
It seems libavcodec can be coming from two developers. (Libav or FFmpeg team)
I would like to know from which implementation is the package coming from ?
How can I know the details of the apt "libavcodec-dev" package for raspbian. (like what version and which source files were used to build it)
Try sudo apt-cache show libavcodec-dev
Another method similar to the one mentioned by @thingian is apt-cache policy package_name
It will show something like this:
pi@raspberrypi:~ $ apt-cache policy emacs
emacs:
Installed: 46.1
Candidate: 46.1
Version table:
*** 46.1 0
500 http://mirrordirector.raspbian.org/raspbian/ jessie/main armhf Packages
100 /var/lib/dpkg/status
As you can see this shows the website it is from from which you should be able to tell who it's from.
