Description Daniel Rusek 2026-05-09 20:32:18 UTC

Upgrading Fedora Workstation 43 to 44 results in both gst-thumbnailers and totem-video-thumbnailer installed. This does not seem to be the intended behavior.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Upgrade from F43 Workstation to F44.
2. Run: rpm -q gst-thumbnailers totem-video-thumbnailer

Actual Results:
gst-thumbnailers-1.0.0-1.fc44.x86_64
totem-video-thumbnailer-43.2-7.fc44.x86_64

Expected Results:
gst-thumbnailers-1.0.0-1.fc44.x86_64
package totem-video-thumbnailer is not installed

I don't think blanket replacing totem-video-thumbnailer with gst-thumbnailers would be correct.
I'm not even sure whether GNOME is the only desktop environment affected here.

I've filed a ticket with the Workstation Working Group to figure out what the correct / intended behaviour is here.

Ok, neither Workstation Working Group nor me could come up with a good way to handle this cleanly on upgrade.
Given that having both installed is not actually a *problem*, it is probably better to keep things as they are for now.
