X-Debbugs-Cc: gstreamer1.0@packages.debian.org
Control: affects -1 src:gstreamer1.0
This is a pre-approval request in case the Debian Release Team wants
this handled differently. Also, this hasn't been uploaded to
Experimental because gstreamer 1.26.3 is there which we do not
currently intend to get into trixie.
Please unblock package gstreamer1.0
[ Reason ]
We recently realized that as of gstreamer 1.26, the file Gst-1.0.gir
is no longer identical across architectures. This was noticed when
someone tried installing libgstreamer1.0-dev (amd64) and
libgstreamer1.0-dev:i386 on the same system and dpkg reported the
error.
We believe that the most minimal way to avoid this issue is to remove
Multi-Arch: same from libgstreamer1.0-dev (preventing
co-installability). Practically, libgstreamer1.0-dev being Multi-Arch:
same probably isn't very helpful because
libgstreamer-plugins-base1.0-dev is not.
For forky, we intend to move architecture-dependent gstreamer .gir
files to /usr/lib/${DEB_HOST_MULTIARCH}/gir-1.0 and set Multi-Arch:
same.

[ Impact ]
Discussed above
[ Tests ]

[ Risks ]
Key package for every Debian desktop
