Installing the update isn’t enough. A running process keeps the old decoder until it restarts
Yes, that’s kinda how computers work?

Yes, that’s kinda how computers work? No, it’s only the most common way. There are also lots of systems where it’s perfectly possible, even normal, to upgrade running processes in-place without restarting.

Imo still worth reminding people that just because you run an apt/dnf upgrade running applications still map the now unlinked outdated version.
