Since I installed Ubuntu 7.04 beta this bug has been fixed. Yay for the new system - nice work on sorting out the codecs problems.

I wonder why you have seen this message at all. The automatic codec install magic of totem/g-a-i should have openend a window with the right codecs.

[Bug 87640] Re: "Add/Remove Applications" does not find Totem codecs
The affected package has been changed back to gnome-app-install after I set it to gstreamer0.10. So my question is: "Who writes the short descriptions of packages as we see them in gnome-app-install?" That's where this bug should be addressed.
