Package: gstreamer1.0-clutter
Version: 2.0.12-1
Severity: important

Dear Maintainer,

I launched cheese, and got the message 'One or more needed GStreamer elements
are missing: cluttervideosink', and the camera wasn't working. I can't use
cheese. I'm not sure when this started, or what caused it - it used to work
fine. It turns out the webcam doesn't work at all (I tried a videocall in
pidgin). Reinstalling both cheese and gstreamer1.0-clutter did nothing.
However, when I ran rm -r ~/.cache/gstreamer-1.0 it sorted out the problem.
