Description Ross Burton 2002-08-30 13:06:27 UTC 
When I installed gstreamer-mpeg today (via apt, on RH72) I also had to
install arts and SDL.  I had an automatic dont-want-arts reflex, and dug
around the depends.

It appears that mpeg2dec depends on esd, arts, and SDL.  This seems a
little strange considering the video and autio output of the MPEG2 decoding
are not going to do to arts/esd/sdl at all, but carry on through the
gstreamer pipelines.  Would it be possible to build a mpeg2dec which does
not have these dependencies?
Comment 1 Thomas Vander Stichele 2002-09-09 09:47:31 UTC 
I just checked our mpeg2dec RPM, it doesn't depend on arts or esd at all.

gstreamer-mpeg doesn't either.  Are you sure you checked the
dependencies (further than using apt-get) ? Maybe you were also
installing other stuff at the same time that required it ?
Comment 2 Thomas Vander Stichele 2002-09-09 10:50:05 UTC 
ok, it's a packaging problem with our rh72 package.  The configure
needs to disable sdl so it doesn't pick all of this up.
Comment 3 Thomas Vander Stichele 2002-09-23 09:49:11 UTC 
fixed in the new package in the repo.
