Bug Description

Binary package hint: gnome-app-install

When trying to install two plugins at once, gnome-codec-install does not provide any indication as to which packages are required to fulfill the requirements.

The common case here is requiring an MP3 audio decoder and some video decoder, in my case the Flash Video decoder. The prompt showed me the gstreamer-ffmpeg and gstreamer-plugins-ugly packages, but gave no inidication if both were required or if one was enough, and if so, which one.

You can reproduce that using:
gnome-codec-install "gstreamer|0.10|foo|Flash Video decoder|decoder-video/x-flash-video" "gstreamer|0.10|foo|Your mom|decoder-audio/mpeg, mpegversion=(int)1, layer=(int)3"

---------------
gnome-app-install (0.5.12-0ubuntu1) intrepid; urgency=low

  * rename gnome-codec-install to gstreamer-codec-install
    and make it a alternative (LP: #280633) to match the
    changes in the recent gstreamer sync (LP: #281606),
    (thanks to Sebastian Heinlein)
  * AppInstall/AppInstall.py:
    - do not crash on _confirm_source_activation() if no
      secondary message is given (LP: #280402)
    - fix focus problem in special activation modes (like
      codec search) (LP: #191245)
    - fix crash when adding components without component
      dependencies (LP: #194148)
  * AppInstall/activation.py:
    - remove stderr output that may cause IOError in Rhythmbox,
      the exit code is sufficient (LP: #193817)
  * AppInstall/update.py:
    - ensure correct permission for the g-a-i caches (LP: #217040)
