Implemented in T315119: Use MP3 instead of WAV for all engines except Larnyx CC @MusikAnimal, is this similar to the error you were getting @dom_walden?

No. I definitely have lame installed locally. The error message I get is T315119#8201952.

Tagging Beta-Cluster-Infrastructure — should lame be available?

The reason lame is not installed in production appservers is that it uses a remote shellbox instance for security reasons.

Given we don't have the same concerns with the beta cluster, we should add a class that is beta-specific allowing installation of all the needed packages.

[operations/puppet@production] deployment-prep: Add C:mediawiki::packages::beta

https://gerrit.wikimedia.org/r/830629

There's an instance called deployment-shellbox.deployment-prep.eqiad1.wikimedia.cloud - is that not used to run shellbox for beta?

$wgShellboxUrl is commented out in deployment-prep's PrivateSettings referencing T176312: Don’t check format constraint via SPARQL (safely evaluating user-provided regular expressions)

It is, but only for shellbox-constraints: https://gerrit.wikimedia.org/g/operations/mediawiki-config/+/345597219998dc259de4550187031ba17a76ad7f/wmf-config/LabsServices.php#77

IIRC that is a very by-hand setup Shellbox, maybe we switch it to the :score image which has everything for constraints (just needs PHP), Phonos (has lame) and Score. Note that (I think I said this elsewhere), Phonos should have its own shellbox deployment for production.

Following installation of the packages locally on beta, we now hit a different error.

It seems we're falling back on this issue https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T317195
