Error while installing FFMPEG under Raspbian (Debian 8 Jessie) - ffmpeg

I am attempting to get FFMPEG installed on my Raspberry Pi 3 running Raspbian (based on Debian 8 Jessie)
When I run the install command I get:
sudo apt-get install ffmpeg

Some packages could not be installed. This may mean that you have
requested an impossible situation or if you are using the unstable
distribution that some required packages have not yet been created

The following information may help to resolve the situation:
The following packages have unmet dependencies:
ffmpeg : Depends: libavcodec54 (>= 8:1.0.0) but it is not going to be installed
Depends: libavdevice54 (>= 8:1.0.0) but it is not going to be installed
Depends: libavfilter3 (>= 8:1.0.0) but it is not going to be installed

Depends: libpostproc52 (>= 8:1.0.0) but 6:0.git20120821-4 is to be installed
E: Unable to correct problems, you have held broken packages.
Has anyone seen this error before? The Debian site states: Be careful, FFmpeg is not available on Debian 8 Jessie.
Is there a way to get FFMPEG installed on Debian 8 Jessie?
UPDATE: I am going through this: https://www.assetbank.co.uk/support/documentation/install/ffmpeg-debian-squeeze/ffmpeg-debian-jessie/
Hopefully this works.
UPDATE:
This got ffmpeg built from source and installed but the script I am running that needs ffmpeg seems to think it should be in user/bin/ffmpeg while its actually installed in user/local/bin/ffmpeg

please do let me know if any other details needed.
Looking at the command prompt, you are using Ubuntu. Puppet isn't compatible with all versions of Ubuntu. I was getting the same error messages on Ubuntu 16.06 for the same version of Puppet (3.8.7-1). I tried a million things till I realized it was OS version to Puppet version match.
https://docs.puppet.com/puppet/3.8/install_debian_ubuntu.html
If you install a version of puppet supported by the OS you are using. It should install. Without knowing what version of Ubuntu you are on, it is possible this isn't the problem, but if so, you should be in good shape. Links below if you are on 16.04:
http://www.itzgeek.com/how-tos/linux/ubuntu-how-tos/how-to-install-puppet-on-ubuntu-16-04.html
Your mileage may vary but the only way I could get around this problem was deleting all the puppet related .list files in /etc/apt/sources.list.d.
Files were
puppetlabs.list
puppetlabs-pc1.list
puppet.list
Once that was done, I could run apt-get install puppet and the command worked just fine.

ubuntu#ubuntu:~$
but still same issue
It would be helpful if someone suggestion me how to fix and install maven
Thanks in advance
May be too late to answer, but I had same issue on Ubuntu 12.04 LTS -- so this may be helpful
Here is a work around...
sudo dpkg -i --force-all /var/cache/apt/archives/libwagon2-java_2.2-3+nmu1_all.deb
The command above will install: libwagon2-java_2.2-3+nmu1_all.deb
After this you will be able to install Maven by: $ sudo apt-get install maven
Update your packages by
sudo apt-get update
then try to install.
