Package: gstreamer1.0-libav
Version: 1.0.5-2
Severity: normal

Hi,

I wonder why gstreamer1.0-libav 1.0.5-2 has a hard Depends on libavcodec-
extra-54. This means that the regular libavcodec54 package gets pushed out of
the system. Is this intended?

I think it's libav's fault. I just tried to reproduce this issue on my
local system with a recent libavcodec-dev package and the Dependencies
were right, i.e. gstreamer1.0-libav got the alternative dependencies as
expected.

The version of libavcodec-dev that gstreamer1.0-libav_1.0.5-2 was built
against is 6:9~beta3-1. In the libav changelog I find the following entry
for a later upload:

libav (6:9.1-2) experimental; urgency=low

  [...]
  * Fix internal shlibs

This and the corresponding changes in GIT, I believe, pretty much explain
the issue. Maybe xou could raise the Build-Depends for libavcodec-dev to
(>= 6:9.1-2~)?
