Hi. I had this same problem for some time, when upgrading to the latest version of rhythmbox and plugins. Finally remembered to upgrade the packages that the rhythmbox-plugins depends on and that solved it, all the plugins are working, including the one that shows lyrics.
I'm running wheezy/unstable, rhythmbox-plugins is version 2.95-1 and I ran the following command to upgrade the dependencies: apt-cache depends rhythmbox-plugins |grep Depends |cut -d ' ' -f4 |grep -v '<'|xargs apt-get install That got the following packages to these versions: ii gir1.2-gconf-2.0 3.2.3-1 GNOME configuration database system (GObject-Introspection) ii gir1.2-glib-2.0 1.31.1-1 Introspection data for GLib, GObject, Gio and GModule ii gir1.2-gtk-3.0 3.2.3-1 GTK+ graphical user interface library -- gir bindings ii gir1.2-peas-1.0 1.2.0-1 Application plugin library (introspection files) ii gir1.2-rb-3.0 2.95-1 GObject introspection data for the rhythmbox music player ii gir1.2-webkit-3.0 1.6.1-5+b1 GObject introspection data for the WebKit library ii libatk1.0-0 2.2.0-2 ATK accessibility toolkit ii libc6 2.13-24 Embedded GNU C Library: Shared libraries ii libcairo-gobject2 1.10.2-6.2 The Cairo 2D vector graphics library (GObject library) ii libcairo2 1.10.2-6.2 The Cairo 2D vector graphics library ii libclutter-1.0-0 1.8.2-2 Open GL based interactive canvas library ii libclutter-gst-1.0-0 1.4.4-1 Open GL based interactive canvas library GStreamer elements ii libclutter-gtk-1.0-0 1.0.4-1 Open GL based interactive canvas library GTK+ widget ii libcogl-pango0 1.8.2-1 Object oriented GL/GLES Abstraction/Utility Layer ii libcogl5 1.8.2-1 Object oriented GL/GLES Abstraction/Utility Layer ii libdmapsharing-3.0-2 2.9.14-1 DMAP client and server library - runtime ii libdrm2 2.4.30-1 Userspace interface to kernel DRM services -- runtime ii libffi5 3.0.10-3 Foreign Function Interface library runtime ii libfontconfig1 2.8.0-3 generic font configuration library - runtime ii libfreetype6 2.4.8-1 FreeType 2 font engine, shared library files ii libgconf2-4 3.2.3-1 GNOME configuration database system (shared libraries) ii libgdk-pixbuf2.0-0 2.24.0-2 GDK Pixbuf library ii libgirepository-1.0-1 1.31.1-1 Library for handling GObject introspection data (runtime lib ii libglib2.0-0 2.30.2-4 GLib library of C routines ii libgnome-keyring0 3.2.2-1 GNOME keyring services library ii libgpod4 0.8.2-4 library to read and write songs and artwork to an iPod ii libgrilo-0.1-0 0.1.18-1 Framework for discovering and browsing media - Shared librar ii libgstreamer-plugins-b 0.10.35-1 GStreamer libraries from the "base" set ii libgstreamer0.10-0 0.10.35-1 Core GStreamer libraries and elements ii libgtk-3-0 3.2.3-1 GTK+ graphical user interface library ii libgudev-1.0-0 175-3 GObject-based wrapper library for libudev ii libimobiledevice2 1.1.1-3 Library for communicating with the iPhone and iPod Touch ii libjson-glib-1.0-0 0.14.2-1 GLib JSON manipulation library ii liblircclient0 0.9.0~pre1-1 infra-red remote control support - client library ii libmtp9 1.1.2-2 Media Transfer Protocol (MTP) library ii libmusicbrainz3-6 3.0.2-2 library to access the MusicBrainz.org database ii libmx-1.0-2 1.4.1-1 toolkit for the Moblin user experience ii libnotify4 0.7.4-1 sends desktop notifications to a notification daemon ii libpango1.0-0 1.29.4-2 Layout and rendering of internationalized text ii libpeas-1.0-0 1.2.0-1 Application plugin library ii librhythmbox-core5 2.95-1 support library for the rhythmbox music player ii libsoup-gnome2.4-1 2.36.1-1 HTTP library implementation in C -- GNOME support library ii libsoup2.4-1 2.36.1-1 HTTP library implementation in C -- Shared library ii libtdb1 1.2.9-4+b1 Trivial Database - shared library ii libtotem-plparser17 2.32.6-2 Totem Playlist Parser library - runtime files ii libusb-0.1-4 2:0.1.12-20 userspace USB programming library ii libx11-6 2:1.4.4-4 X11 client-side library ii libxcomposite1 1:0.4.3-2 X11 Composite extension library ii libxdamage1 1:1.1.3-2 X11 damaged region extension library ii libxext6 2:1.3.0-3 X11 miscellaneous extension library ii libxfixes3 1:5.0-4 X11 miscellaneous 'fixes' extension library ii libxi6 2:1.4.5-1 X11 Input extension library ii libxml2 2.7.8.dfsg-6 GNOME XML library ii python 2.7.2-9 interactive high-level object-oriented language (default ver ii python-gnomekeyring 2.32.0-4+b2 Python bindings for the GNOME keyring library ii python-mako 0.5.0-1 fast and lightweight templating for the Python platform ii python2.7 2.7.2-12 Interactive high-level object-oriented language (version 2.7 ii rhythmbox 2.95-1 music player and organizer for GNOME ii zeitgeist-core 0.8.2-1 event logging framework - engine ii zlib1g 1:1.2.3.4.dfsg-3 compression library - runtime This suggests that the rhythmbox-plugins package should declare a higher version of one or some of these dependencies.
