Unable to install ffmpeg on CircleCi 2.0

I have Ruby on Rails project which uses CircleCi to run tests. In the past I was using CircleCi 1.0 but now I migrated to CircleCi 2.0. I have problem with installing ffmpeg. CircleCi 2.0 uses Ubuntu 14.04. I install ffmpeg like this:

# ffmpeg installation
sudo add-apt-repository ppa:mc3man/trusty-media -y
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install ffmpeg

and my circle.yml config file looks like this:

version: 2
environment:
  TZ: "/usr/share/zoneinfo/America/Los_Angeles"

jobs:
  build:
    parallelism: 2
    working_directory: ~/circleci-survey-builder
    docker:
      - image: circleci/ruby:2.4.1-node
        environment:
          PGHOST: 127.0.0.1
          PGUSER: ubuntu
          RAILS_ENV: test
      - image: circleci/postgres:9.6-alpine
        environment:
          POSTGRES_USER: ubuntu
          POSTGRES_DB: circle_test
          POSTGRES_PASSWORD: ''
    steps:
      - checkout

      - run:
          name: 'Install CircleCI dependencies'
          command: bash deploy/circle-dependencies.sh

      - type: cache-restore
        key: dashboard-{{ checksum "Gemfile.lock" }}

      - run:
          name: 'Install gems'
          command: bundle install --path vendor/bundle

      - type: cache-save
        key: dashboard-{{ checksum "Gemfile.lock" }}
        paths:
          - vendor/bundle

      - run:
          name: 'Install postgresql-client'
          command: sudo apt install postgresql-client

      - run:
          name: 'Create database.yml'
          command: mv config/database.ci.yml config/database.yml

      - run:
          name: Set up SurveyBuilder database
          command: bundle exec rake db:structure:load --trace

      - run:
          name: 'Run tests'
          command: |
            bundle exec rspec spec

It returns following error when I run build on CircleCi:

#!/bin/bash -eo pipefail
bash deploy/circle-dependencies.sh

Package ffmpeg is not available, but is referred to by another package.
This may mean that the package is missing, has been obsoleted, or
is only available from another source

E: Package 'ffmpeg' has no installation candidate
Exited with code 100

How can I fix that?

Since the system is now Debian 8.0 (jessie) and not Ubuntu 14.04. You need to enable backports

sudo sh -c 'echo "deb http://ftp.debian.org/debian jessie-backports main" >> /etc/apt/sources.list'
apt update
apt install -y ffmpeg
