mkv files with dvdsub broken after installing Fluendo Complete Playback Pack

I spoke with one of the maintainers of this package, slomo, and he has been kind enough to remove the Conflicts/Replaces/Provides (in subsequent uploads) for gstreamer0.10-fluendo-mpegdemux which is causing this inconvenience for users. This patch will fix the problem for natty.

Thanks Brian! I'll sponsor this.

(Note that you need to patch debian/control.in as well, doing that)

This bug was fixed in the package gst-plugins-bad0.10 - 0.10.21-1ubuntu4

---------------
gst-plugins-bad0.10 (0.10.21-1ubuntu4) natty; urgency=low

  * Removed Conflicts/Replaces/Provides for gstreamer0.10-fluendo-mpegdemux as
    thee packages can now co-exist, and the Conflict prevented certain codec
    packs provided directly by Fluendo from being installed. (LP: #731711)

Many thanks Martin! (and sorry about the .in oversight)

Yes, this affects Maverick and Lucid as well. I'll attach those debdiffs now.

Comment #1 says slomo has uploaded gstreamer0.10-fluendo-mpegdemux to update it. I don't think this can be right since he doesn't have access to the software centre archive.

Where can we find the gstreamer0.10-fluendo-mpegdemux source/binary to confirm that this patch to -bad is correct?

Hi Jonathan,

No, he hasn't uploaded the fix - he has agreed to upload future versions (to Debian) without the Conflicts/Replaces/Provides in place as it is no longer necessary. (He is a MOTU though, so does have upload access to Universe where the -bad package resides)

gstreamer0.10-fluendo-mpegdemux no longer resides in Debian, or Ubuntu after Lucid. You can grab the source from Lucid if you'd like.

I have verified that the demuxer files are no longer named the same and slomo has assured me that none of their symbols are the same anymore either, so in Lucid, the two seem to co-exist fine.

Uploaded to lucid-proposed and maverick-proposed, in unapproved queue awaiting approval by ubuntu-sru

APPROVED: the package version 0.10.18-1ubuntu1.1 in the queue for lucid-proposed should be accepted.

David, please let us know if the packages in -proposed fix the issue for you. I can't test because I don't have Fluendo.

The fix for this bug has been awaiting testing feedback in the -proposed repository for lucid for more than 90 days. Please test this fix and update the bug appropriately with the results. In the event that the fix for this bug is still not verified 15 days from now, the package will be removed from the -proposed repository.

The version of gst-plugins-bad0.10 in lucid-proposed has been removed as this bug report was not verified in a timely fashion.

lucid has seen the end of its life and is no longer receiving any updates. Marking the lucid task for this ticket as "Won't Fix".
