Do we need to re-add gst-plugins-base-0.10.32-0.bee as well? It was removed by #728, too, but the remove has never been comitted to the distmaster.

Good question. I didn’t check that. ``` /usr/lib/gstreamer-0.10 /usr/lib/gstreamer-0.10/libgstadder.so /usr/lib/gstreamer-0.10/libgstalsa.so /usr/lib/gstreamer-0.10/libgstapp.so /usr/lib/gstreamer-0.10/libgstaudioconvert.so /usr/lib/gstreamer-0.10/libgstaudiorate.so /usr/lib/gstreamer-0.10/libgstaudioresample.so /usr/lib/gstreamer-0.10/libgstaudiotestsrc.so /usr/lib/gstreamer-0.10/libgstdecodebin.so /usr/lib/gstreamer-0.10/libgstdecodebin2.so /usr/lib/gstreamer-0.10/libgstencodebin.so /usr/lib/gstreamer-0.10/libgstffmpegcolorspace.so /usr/lib/gstreamer-0.10/libgstgdp.so /usr/lib/gstreamer-0.10/libgstgio.so /usr/lib/gstreamer-0.10/libgstgnomevfs.so /usr/lib/gstreamer-0.10/libgstogg.so /usr/lib/gstreamer-0.10/libgstpango.so /usr/lib/gstreamer-0.10/libgstplaybin.so /usr/lib/gstreamer-0.10/libgstsubparse.so /usr/lib/gstreamer-0.10/libgsttcp.so /usr/lib/gstreamer-0.10/libgsttheora.so /usr/lib/gstreamer-0.10/libgsttypefindfunctions.so /usr/lib/gstreamer-0.10/libgstvideo4linux.so /usr/lib/gstreamer-0.10/libgstvideorate.so /usr/lib/gstreamer-0.10/libgstvideoscale.so /usr/lib/gstreamer-0.10/libgstvideotestsrc.so /usr/lib/gstreamer-0.10/libgstvolume.so /usr/lib/gstreamer-0.10/libgstvorbis.so /usr/lib/gstreamer-0.10/libgstximagesink.so /usr/lib/gstreamer-0.10/libgstxvimagesink.so ``` I guess, it’s technically not needed, and the check scripts won’t complain, but as it hasn’t been removed, I’ll just add it back.

I'd object to reinstall the complete package. It's ok to reinstall a compat-package if we really need the .so files.

We're reintroducing /usr/lib/pkgconfig/gstreamer/* and even more evil: /usr/bin/gst-*

And please do not think about '--force' ... This is a bad thing and should not even considered a 'quick fix'

TLDR: -compat with *.so would be ok.

oh no he did it...

#728 (completed by #819) replaced gstreamer-0.10.32 and gstreamer-1.5.2 with gstreamer-1.12.4. But it broke other packages and we need to undo the ill effects. We could completely revert #728 and #819 and everything which depends on it, but then we'd return into an ugly stacked state as well.

With this fix we only half-revert it (restoring 0.10.32 but leaving 1.5.2 updated to 1.12.4) . As before #728, everyone is welcome to convert 0.10.32 into a compatibility package or rebuild everything which depends on it. But should we wait to fix the damage of #728 until somebody took and completed that job? Or undo everything completely?

1.12.14 should be bee install-minus-fed after 0.10.32, of course, so that the older version doesn't mask the newer version.

I've updated this on the distmaster.
