Public bug reported: The executables packaged in gstreamer-tools are effectively aliases for the similarly named files in gstreamer-tools-0.10, with some additional magic that allows them to work with GStreamer 0.8 if it is there (and it almost certainly isn't).
The package description makes it sound as the tools worked with GStreamer 1.0. They don't. The attached patch to debian/control might fix that. ** Affects: gstreamer0.10 (Ubuntu) Importance: Undecided Status: New ** Patch added: "patch" https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1239580/+attachment/3877392/+files/control.diff -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Desktop Packages, which is subscribed to gstreamer0.10 in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1239580 Title: gstreamer-tools package information is misleading Status in “gstreamer0.10” package in Ubuntu: New Bug description: The executables packaged in gstreamer-tools are effectively aliases for the similarly named files in gstreamer-tools-0.10, with some additional magic that allows them to work with GStreamer 0.8 if it is there (and it almost certainly isn't).
