Package: rhythmbox
Version: 0.8.4-3
Severity: normal
Tags: sid
Rhythmbox 0.8.4 depends on gstreamer0.8, but it fails to install any
gstreamer0.8 sources like flac, mp3, ogg, and so forth. So, after I
upgrade rhythmbox, I'm unable to play any files.
The solution is to install gstreamer0.8-flac, gstreamer0.8-blahblahblah
and so forth until I've all the pieces I need. But this isn't obvious
to the user, I don't see how a normal user could be expected to figure
it out. He had gstreamer-flac installed, but now he needs
gstreamer0.8-flac installed. It's user-hostile.
At the very least rhythmbox should Recommends: gstreamer0.8-plugins.
Probably it should Depends: that package.
