Bug#496556: gstreamer0.10-plugins-ugly: Description notes that the package might cause problem for distribution, but it's in main section
Package: gstreamer0.10-plugins-ugly Version: 0.10.8-1 Severity: serious Justification: Policy 2.2 The description states at the end: "This packages contains plugins from the "ugly" set, a set of good-quality plug-ins that might pose distribution problems.". If this is correct, then the package is in the wrong section, i.e. should be in non-free if I'm correct; Tf this is wrong, plese downgrade this bug to minor and retitle it so it points to that the description is wrong. -- System Information: Debian Release: lenny/sid APT prefers unstable APT policy: (500, 'unstable'), (1, 'experimental') Architecture: i386 (i686) Kernel: Linux 2.6.25-2-686 (SMP w/1 CPU core) Locale: LANG=sv_SE.UTF-8, LC_CTYPE=sv_SE.UTF-8 (charmap=UTF-8) Shell: /bin/sh linked to /bin/bash Versions of packages gstreamer0.10-plugins-ugly depends on: ii liba52-0.7.4 0.7.4-11 library for decoding ATSC A/52 str ii libc6 2.7-13 GNU C Library: Shared libraries ii libdvdread3 0.9.7-11 library for reading DVDs ii libgcc1 1:4.3.1-9 GCC support library ii libglib2.0-0 2.16.5-1 The GLib library of C routines ii libgstreamer-plugins-base0.10 0.10.20-2 GStreamer libraries from the "base ii libgstreamer0.10-00.10.20-2 Core GStreamer libraries and eleme ii libid3tag00.15.1b-10 ID3 tag reading library from the M ii libmad0 0.15.1b-3 MPEG audio decoder library ii libmpeg2-40.4.1-3MPEG1 and MPEG2 video decoder libr ii liboil0.3 0.3.15-1 Library of Optimized Inner Loops ii libsidplay1 1.36.59-5 SID (MOS 6581) emulation library ii libstdc++64.3.1-9The GNU Standard C++ Library v3 gstreamer0.10-plugins-ugly recommends no packages. gstreamer0.10-plugins-ugly suggests no packages. -- no debconf information -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".

Distributions might be an issue because of the libraries the package relies on, especially if you want to ship proprietary plugins for GStreamer. GStreamer is mostly LGPL, but if you start mixing GPL bits or libraries with it, it becomes GPL; that's why it "might" be problematic. I think the description represents pretty well the upstream one; we have no problem distributing this package or the available build-deps in Debian main -- the ftpmasters gave the green light on inclusion obviously. Perhaps we should make it clearer which distribution issues it might cause, or that this is an upstream description of this set of plugins in the description. -- Loïc Minier -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
