Bug#585973: libgstffmpeg.so linked to missing libva-0.31.0.6.so.1

[Christopher David Howie]

Package: gstreamer0.10-ffmpeg
Version: 0.10.10-1
Severity: grave

/usr/lib/gstreamer-0.10/libgstffmpeg.so appears to be linked to
libva-0.31.0.6.so.1, which is not available at all in lenny.

----------8<----------
$ apt-cache policy gstreamer0.10-ffmpeg
gstreamer0.10-ffmpeg:
  Installed: 0.10.10-1
  Candidate: 0.10.10-1
  Version table:
 *** 0.10.10-1 0
        900 http://ftp.us.debian.org squeeze/main Packages
        800 http://ftp.us.debian.org sid/main Packages
        100 /var/lib/dpkg/status

$ ldd /usr/lib/gstreamer-0.10/libgstffmpeg.so | grep 'not found'
	libva-0.31.0.6.so.1 => not found
----------8<----------

This renders the plugin useless, causing every gstreamer-based media
player I have to fail (totem mainly).  See this output, for example:

----------8<----------
$ gst-launch-0.10 filesrc location=test.avi ! decodebin ! autovideosink
Setting pipeline to PAUSED ...
Pipeline is PREROLLING ...

(gst-launch-0.10:8507): GStreamer-WARNING **: Failed to load plugin

----------8<----------

It appears that decodebin gives up entirely decoding the video stream
and decodes the audio only; replacing autovideosink with autoaudiosink
plays the audio stream without error, and linking decodebin to an
autoaudiosink and a fakesink results in a not-linked error.
