Change in dependency of libxine1 and broken new package

Forgot to add package hint while reporting

This issue is still present which causes a constant upgrade notification on kubuntu.

The problem seems to be that libxine1 has "required: libxine1-plugins or libxine1-misc-plugins" which was or should be a recommend since they pull in the gnome packages which aren't a default on a kubuntu system.

Exactly. Why don't u change the status of the bug to confirmed?

xine-lib (1.1.8-3ubuntu1) hardy; urgency=low

  Merged from the current state of the debian packaging branch. Will appear
  in unstable shortly.

  [Darren Salt]
  * libxine1-dbg was missing some debug symbols. Fixed by building it after
    xine-lib's other arch:any packages.
  * Introduce a new package, libxine1-bin, which contains the binaries
    formerly in libxine1. Dependencies are moved and updated accordingly.
    thanks to Bill Allombert. (Closes: #454267)
  * Except for libxine1-doc, libxine1-bin and libxine-dev, symlink to
    libxine1-bin's documentation. (AUTHORS is now in libxine1-bin.)
  * Fix compilation of DXR3 support with external ffmpeg.
    This is currently only needed for compilation against libavcodeccvs-dev
    (from debian-multimedia). Untested with actual DXR3 hardware since I
    have none.

  * Bug fix: "FTBFS with GCC 4.3: missing #includes", thanks to Martin
    Michlmayr and Daniel Schepler (Closes: #455438, #455322).
  * Bug fix: "libxine1-plugins: should not depend on libxine1-gnome",
    thanks to Hermogenes Hebert Pereira Oliveira. (Closes: #454162, LP: #164801)
    Instead, a new package is introduced: libxine1-all-plugins, which
    additionally depends on the gnome plugin.
  * remove the jack plugin. According to upstream it is unfinished and of
    poor quality. A rewrite is available in the 1.2 branch. LP: #152487

xine-lib (1.1.8-3) unstable; urgency=low

  [Darren Salt]
  * Patches from the 1.1.9 dev tree:
    - Silence "lacing: N" messages from the matroska demuxer.
    - Extra identifier for MPEG video (in AVIs etc.).
  * Tighten the dependencies of libxine1 and libxine1-plugins on libxine1-*
    packages.
  * Move deps on libxine1-{x,console} from libxine1-plugins to libxine1 to
    avoid further problems such as bug 448077.

  [ Reinhard Tartler ]
  * remove gs from build-deps
  * don't build the pulseaudio plugin. (Closes: #452211, #427991)

Will this fix not be available for Gutsy?

If it will be, then when can we expect it?

This is still broken on gutsy and the packages won't get updated with apt-get so I really think they should be pulled from backports.

This problem that is easily fixed means myself and many others I'm sure ignore the constant update notification in Kubuntu.

This bug is another example showing things are not tested for Kubuntu. The new dependencies, though unnecessary, work fine for gnome. But misc-plugins which don't depend on Gnome doesn't work.
