How can I satisfy Audacity asking for libavformat.so.53, while Ubuntu 14.04 has libavformat.so.54?

I am using Audacity 2.0.5. I have been trying to edit video files. I know that Audacity is an audio DAW, but I recently learned that it was possible to import a file through ffmpeg and seperate the audio from the video. I followed the Audacity instructions about setting up Audacity so that it would do this. Then I found instructions on where to locate the libraries when this was done, but I got an error message.

I am using Ubuntu 14.04. What I discovered is my computer has libavformat.so.54. Is there a way to change it to 53?

There's a good chance, that libavformat.so.54 contains all the symbol needed by Audacity. Tell Audacity to work with that. If necessary trick it, by creating a symlink somewhere, e. g.:

ln -s /usr/lib/$(uname -m)-linux-gnu/libavformat.so.54 ~/libavformat.so.53
