I should have mentioned that gstreamer1.0 has a FTBFS (test failure)
bug reported (https://bugs.debian.org/1066797), but when I tried the
build in armel and armhf chroots on the porterbox amdahl, it succeeded -
so I think it's worth trying the binNMU anyway, in the hope that the FTBFS
either doesn't affect these architectures or is intermittent.

Bug#1067421: nmu: gstreamer1.0_1.24.0-1

2024-03-21 Thread Simon McVittie
Package: release.debian.org
Severity: normal

gst-plugins-base1.0 is currently unbuildable on armel and armhf due to
gstreamer1.0 having been built before libdw1 transitioned to libdw1t64.
Please consider:

nmu gstreamer1.0_1.24.0-1 . armel armhf . unstable . -m "rebuild against 
libdw1t64"

(or maybe rebuild on all architectures if avoiding multi-arch skew is
considered to be important).

This is one of several things blocking gtk4 being rebuilt for the time64
transition, which in turn prevents rebuilds of a lot of the GTK ecosystem
from being tried. In the short term I'm intending to work around that
by disabling its GStreamer plugin on the affected architectures, but
upstream considers this to be an unsupported configuration, so we should
put it back as soon as we can.

Thanks,
