FYI Pidgin only calls that function if it existed in the version of gstreamer that was installed at compile time. For reference, here's the check in configure.ac:
AC_CHECK_LIB(gstreamer-0.10, gst_registry_fork_set_enabled,
[ AC_DEFINE(GST_CAN_DISABLE_FORKING, [],
[Define if gst_registry_fork_set_enabled exists])],
[], [$GSTREAMER_LIBS])
This is not a bug. The customer upgraded to the RHEL-5.3 pidgin on their RHEL-5.2 system. http://people.redhat.com/wtogami/temp/pidgin/ In any case, I bet these binaries will work. A low priority security errata built against RHEL-5.2 will supercede the RHEL-5.3 beta version. Please give these a test. |
Description of problem: pidgin-2.5.1-3.el5 needs gstreamer-0.10.20-3.el5 to provide the symbol gst_registry_fork_set_enabled symbol If you start with a RHEL 5.2 system and then upgrade just the pidgin and libpurple packages (and finch too if desired), then pidgin will fail to start and give an error: pidgin: symbol lookup error: pidgin: undefined symbol: gst_registry_fork_set_enabled Upgrading to gstreamer from gstreamer-0.10.9-3.el5 to 0.10.20-3.el5 fixes the problem. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): libpurple-2.5.1-3.el5 pidgin-2.5.1-3.el5 How reproducible: Every time Steps to Reproduce: 1. Install a fresh RHEL 5.2 system 2. Upgrade the libpurple and pidgin packages to those from RHEL 5.3 Beta: finch-2.5.1-3.el5 libpurple-2.5.1-3.el5 libpurple-perl-2.5.1-3.el5 libpurple-tcl-2.5.1-3.el5 pidgin-2.5.1-3.el5 pidgin-perl-2.5.1-3.el5 3. Run 'pidgin' from a terminal Actual results: pidgin: symbol lookup error: pidgin: undefined symbol: gst_registry_fork_set_enabled Expected results: pidgin should start running Additional info: Upgrading to gstreamer*0.10.20-3.el5 fixes the problem The pidgin.spec file contains %if %{gstreamer_integration} BuildRequires: gstreamer-devel >= 0.10 %endif This should probably be '>= 0.10.20' It should probably also have a section %if %{gstreamer_integration} Requires: gstreamer >= 0.10.20 %endif
