Description Dennis Gregorovic 2009-04-03 13:16:28 UTC

pidgin 2.5.5-1.el5 was built against gstreamer 0.10.20-3.el5 and works fine with that version of gstreamer.  However, it doesn't work with the version of gstreamer in RHEL 5.2: 0.10.9-3.el5.  Yet, those two versions of gstreamer identify as being ABI-compatible:

$ rpm -q --provides -p `find_package gstreamer-0.10.9-3.el5.i386`
libgstbase-0.10.so.0
libgstcontroller-0.10.so.0
libgstcoreelements.so
libgstcoreindexers.so
libgstdataprotocol-0.10.so.0
libgstnet-0.10.so.0
libgstreamer-0.10.so.0
gstreamer = 0.10.9-3.el5

$ rpm -q --provides -p `find_package gstreamer-0.10.20-3.el5.i386`
libgstbase-0.10.so.0
libgstcontroller-0.10.so.0
libgstcoreelements.so
libgstcoreindexers.so
libgstdataprotocol-0.10.so.0
libgstnet-0.10.so.0
libgstreamer-0.10.so.0
gstreamer = 0.10.20-3.el5

$ rpm -qRp `find_package pidgin-2.5.5-1.el5.i386` | grep libgs
libgstreamer-0.10.so.0

I would expect that a package that Requires libgstreamer-0.10.so.0 would work with gstreamer-0.10.9-3.el5.i386.
