swh-plugins package crashes gstreamer0.8-anything...

[Giacomo Mulas <gmulas@ca.astro.it>]

	Bug report on amd64: for some time, I had been puzzled by the 
postinst of all gstreamer0.8 output plugins segfaulting, namely 
gst-compprep-0.8 would segfault.
	After getting sick at it, since my system works otherwise very 
well, I investigated this a bit further using strace, and found out that 
the segfault happened immediately after opening some ladspa libraries. 
Some digging later, to single out the culprit, I foud that if I 
uninstalled the swh-plugins package gst-compprep-0.8 would not segfault 
any more.
	Now I have a fully working gstreamer, and do not miss much 
swh-plugins, but perhaps somebody will be interested in knowing about this 
problem, perhaps adding a note or a conflicts in the amd64 version of 
swh-plugins to avoid other people unneededly wasting time on the same 
problem or even digging into the code with a debugger, finding and 
correcting the underlying bug.

Bye
Giacomo
