Rebuilding gmpc made it look for plugins in a multiarch directory,
effectively making gmpc-plugins unusable.
Sorry that I didn't catch this.
I'm bumping the severity so that it does not break testing and
will prepare a fix ASAP.
I see two solutions:
- make the plugins multiarch-aware. This means enable multi-arch
in gmpc-plugins, add a versioned Breaks in gmpc.
- load the plugins from a non-multiarch directory, as before.
It seems to me that there is no point in making the plugins multiarch,
because they can only be used by gmpc, and only one gmpc can be
installed, but I may be overlooking something.
In the meantime, you can make gmpc look in the correct directory by
setting an environment variable:
PLUGIN_DIR=/usr/lib/gmpc/plugins gmpc
Thanks for this bug report, this is what unstable is for I guess :)
