  • Bug#1108412: libgstreamer1.0-dev: Multi-Arch: same but differs across a

    From =?UTF-8?Q?Jeremy_B=C3=ADcha?=@21:1/5 to All on Fri Jun 27 23:40:01 2025
    Package: libgstreamer1.0-dev
    Version: 1.26.0-1
    Severity: serious
    Justification: violates Debian policy section 9.1.1
    X-Debbugs-CC: helmut@subdivi.de, smcv@debian.org

    libgstreamer1.0-dev has set Multi-Arch: same, but beginning with
    gstreamer 1.26, Gst-1.0.gir varies across architectures. See https://launchpad.net/bugs/2115325 where this issue was originally
    reported for more details.

    As I noted in the Launchpad bug, I was unable to co-install
    libgstreamer1.0-dev on older Ubuntu releases. Perhaps the
    installability issue was fixed with the various gobject-introspection improvements that were done for trixie (#1029957 etc.).

    Based on https://bugs.debian.org/1029957 , I am filing this as serious
    because architecture-dependent files should not be installed to
    /usr/share/

    Based on my reading of https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=1023591#28 , I guess
    we could try to move Gst-1.0.gir to
    /usr/lib/${DEB_HOST_MULTIARCH}/gir-1.0 for trixie.

    Thank you,
    Jeremy Bícha

    Yes, that probably hid the issue by making it practically impossible to co-install libgstreamer1.0-dev on dissimilar architectures until
    recently.

    Based on my reading of >https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=1023591#28 , I guess
    we could try to move Gst-1.0.gir to
    /usr/lib/${DEB_HOST_MULTIARCH}/gir-1.0 for trixie.

    That comes with a risk of breaking code-generation by tools that have
    not yet been updated to search /usr/lib/${DEB_HOST_MULTIARCH}/gir-1.0,
    which might be an unacceptable risk at this point in the freeze process.

    In *forky*, I think the GStreamer team should move Gst-1.0.gir and GstAudio-1.0.gir to /usr/lib/${DEB_HOST_MULTIARCH}/gir-1.0 (and those
    binding generators will just have to be fixed); but in trixie, I think
    it would be a safer solution to remove Multi-Arch: same from libgstreamer1.0-dev, similar to libgstreamer-plugins-base1.0-dev.

    Ok, I filed https://bugs.debian.org/1108432 as a pre-approval unblock
    to remove Multi-Arch: same
