Bug#989595: unblock: webkit2gtk/2.32.1-2
Package: release.debian.org
Severity: normal
User: release.debian.org@packages.debian.org
Usertags: unblock
Please unblock package webkit2gtk
webkit2gtk has always used (and recommended) gstreamer1.0-plugins-good
for media playback, but since 2.32.x it will crash (assert) if a
suitable plugin is not found. gstreamer1.0-plugins-good is one of
the most installed packages in Debian and is used by many multimedia
apps so the chances of it being missing are low, but they are still
there. See #989332 for an example and #989198 (message 29) for more
details on the problem.
This upload changes gstreamer1.0-plugins-good from a recommendation to
a dependency and also recommends plugins-bad (needed for e.g. YouTube
videos).
Debdiff attached.
Regards,
Berto

+ * debian/control:
+ + Update the dependencies on GStreamer plugins (Closes: #989332):
+ - WebKitGTK really expects at least the -base and -good sets.
+ - For video playback (e.g YouTube) -bad is also recommended.
+ - The pulseaudio plugin was merged into the -good package so it will
