Bug 135353

banshee-engine-gst needs to PreReq gstreamer.

This is fixed for 10.1. We won't be pushing an update out for 10.0 users. Please install gstreamer first and then banshee.

he, iam a gstreamer developer and I *have* gstreamer 0.8 and 0.9 installed. So its not that what makes it fail. 
Any idea, how I can examine in more detail what goes wrong?

Well, the scriptlet in question is:

/opt/gnome/bin/gst-register-0.8 >/dev/null 2>&1

We've been assuming the problem was that banshee-engine-gst didn't prerequire gstreamer, and hence that there was no guarantee that gstreamer was installed prior to banshee-engine-gst.

Try running /opt/gnome/bin/gst-register-0.8 (without directing to /dev/null) and see what it's unhappy about.

hmm, that can't be the problem.
I run
gst-register-0.8; echo $?
and it was running fine (exit code = 0)

I don't know haw the package stuff via yast2 works - is there a way to just download the patch and apply it manually so that I can see the shell output.

Sure, you can just download the rpm. Then install with "yast2 -i banshee.rpm".

Then you'll see if it fails with Yast.

These are the only scripts that are run when installing the banshee packages:

%post
export GCONF_CONFIG_SOURCE=`opt/gnome/bin/gconftool-2 --get-default-source`
opt/gnome/bin/gconftool-2 --makefile-install-rule etc/opt/gnome/gconf/schemas/banshee.schemas >/dev/null
%run_ldconfig

%post -n banshee-engine-gst
%{gstreamerprefix}/bin/gst-register >/dev/null 2>&1

%post -n banshee-engine-helix
%{gstreamerprefix}/bin/gst-register >/dev/null 2>&1

Perhaps there is problem installing the GConf schema?

root@hoshi:/home/ensonic/download> rpm -i banshee-0.9.11.1-9.i586.rpm
error: Failed dependencies:
        banshee-engine is needed by banshee-0.9.11.1-9
root@hoshi:/home/ensonic/download> rpm -i banshee-engine-gst-0.9.11.1-9.i586.rpm
error: Failed dependencies:
        banshee = 0.9.11.1 is needed by banshee-engine-gst-0.9.11.1-9
root@hoshi:/home/ensonic/download>

is there a circular dependeciy?

Btw. I've added
ftp://ftp.suse.com/pub/suse/i386/supplementary/GNOME/update_for_10.0/yast-source/
to my yast source, but none of the packages there is picked up when doing an online update.

Anyway seem to spotted one bug! --------------------------------------
%post -n banshee-engine-gst
%{gstreamerprefix}/bin/gst-register >/dev/null 2>&1

%post -n banshee-engine-helix
%{gstreamerprefix}/bin/gst-register >/dev/null 2>&1
----------------------------------------------------------------------
that must be gst-register-0.8 !
gst-register is not available in 0.10 and in the mean-time was the 0.9 development version.

Still after manually updating all packages, the online update wants to install an update :(

its not totally circular - banshee just needs one engine in order to do something useful.

Just install both packages at the same time:

rpm -Uvh banshee-0.9.11.1-9.i586.rpm banshee-engine-gst-0.9.11.1-9.i586.rpm

The post install scripts have been fixed to use the versioned gst-register, gst-register-0.8 in this case, as we don't have 0.10 in SUSE yet.

Like JP said, it's not totally circular, you have to install one of the engines along with banshee. The banshee-engine-* packages did have a slight bug in them, where, they provided "banshee-engine", which satisfies any version. This has been fixed so that they only provide the version "Provides: banshee-engine =  %{version}".

These fixes will appear in the first preview of SUSE 10.1 Professional.

no comment for 2 weeks. Please re-open if there is still an issue.

in 10.0 it has not be fixed, so I just ignore the update during every online update :(
I'll reopen the bug it it still fails for me on suse 10.1
