Bug#482266: /usr/lib/gstreamer-0.10/libgstffmpeg.so: undefined symbol: sws_scale, playback of xvid/divx fails

[Michael Biebl]

Package: gstreamer0.10-ffmpeg
Version: 0.10.3.3-1
Severity: serious
File: /usr/lib/gstreamer-0.10/libgstffmpeg.so


Trying to play an avi file with totem, I get:

(totem:5495): GStreamer-WARNING **: Failed to load plugin
'/usr/lib/gstreamer-0.10/libgstffmpeg.so':
/usr/lib/gstreamer-0.10/libgstffmpeg.so: undefined symbol: sws_scale
** Message: don't know how to handle video/x-xvid,
framerate=(fraction)2997/100, width=(int)720, height=(int)480
** Message: Missing plugin: gstreamer|0.10|totem|XVID MPEG-4
decoder|decoder-video/x-xvid (XVID MPEG-4 decoder)
** Message: Automatic missing codec installation not supported (helper
script missing)

Filing with severity serious, to not let this broken version enter
testing.

Cheers,
Michael
