Since I upgraded to CentOS8, I cannot get HandBrakeCLI to work:

# HandBrakeCLI
HandBrakeCLI: error while loading shared libraries: libass.so.5: cannot 
open shared object file: No such file or directory

Googling this, it appears the error message is related to ffmpeg, but I 
don't get any error message with it:

Use -h to get full help or, even better, run 'man ffmpeg'

...it is correct that I don't have a .5:


# ls /usr/lib64/libass*
/usr/lib64/libass.so  /usr/lib64/libass.so.9 /usr/lib64/libass.so.9.0.2  
/usr/lib64/libassuan.so.0 /usr/lib64/libassuan.so.0.8.1

Ideas?
