Unending requests for already existant files

liboil >= 0.3.8 is needed by gstreamer-plugins-base-0.10.13-0.gst.1.5.i386 libvisual-0.4.so.0 is needed by gstreamer-plugins-base-0.10.13-0.gst.1.5.i386 liboil upgraded to 0.3.14 libvisual upgraded to 0.4.0 but gstreamer can't find them even when I try to tell it where it is. If I'm SOL, pls tell me where gstreamer thinks it should be and I'll make copies of every file it asks for until it stops asking. This should be much easier. All I want to do is write CDs not learn all the intricacies of unix programming.
This sounds very much like a packaging problem of your distribution. Which distribution in which version are you using? Do you only use official packages or some from a third party?
I am using Fedora Core 5 and brasero informed me that gstreamer needed upgrading which I did. However the gstreamer plugins, devel, etc required liboil and libvisual to be upgraded. liboil upgraded but libvisual couldn't find the newly upgraded liboil. This is my 3rd attempt over the months to accomplish this. Maybe this time I'll succeed, or not. rpm -qa | grep gstreamer gstreamer-0.10.13-0.gst.1.5 gstreamer-plugins-base-0.10.3-3 Failed dependencies: liboil >= 0.3.8 is needed by gstreamer-plugins-base-0.10.13-0.gst.1.5.i386 libvisual-0.4.so.0 is needed by gstreamer-plugins-base-0.10.13-0.gst.1.5 gstreamer-tools-0.10.13-0.gst.1.5 gstreamer-plugins-good-0.10.2-1 gstreamer-devel-0.10.13-0.gst.1.5 rpm -qa | grep liboil liboil-0.3.6-3.fc5.2 even though I installed liboil-0.3.14
Ok so that's definitely a distribution bug, sorry. You should reports this at http://bugzilla.redhat.com .
