Hi, there is a problem with the GnomeVFS GStreamer plugin. When a new GnomeVFS module (providing new URI methods) is installed, GStreamer doesn't become aware of it because its own list doesn't change. See #426694 for details. Because the GStreamer registry is per-user, it isn't possible to regenerate it in the postinst (that's a known issue in GStreamer).
Despite its ugliness, the only proposed solution that works so far is to touch the libgstgnomevfs.so file in libgnomevfs2-extra's postinst (and the same for other packages providing GnomeVFS methods), so that its timestamp changes. The policy doesn't forbid this, but I don't like the idea of changing another package's file, even if it is only for the timestamp. Does anyone know of something that would actually be broken by such a behavior, or do you think it would it be OK as a temporary workaround? Cheers, -- .''`. : :' : We are debian.org.
