Package: gstreamer0.10-plugins-base-apps
Version: 0.10.30.4-1
Severity: minor
Tags: patch
The gst-visualize-m.m script in gstreamer0.10-plugins-base-apps
imports Base::Filename at the top of the script, but then doesn't use
any functions from that module.
In Ubuntu we're attempting to clean up some of the dependencies of our
core desktop packages, and in particular we're looking at trying to
drop perl dependencies to perl-base dependencies when that's possible.
Since File::Basename is the only imported module not provided by
perl-base, dropping this import would allow
gstreamer0.10-plugins-base-apps' dependency to be demoted.
Attached is the patch that we applied in Ubuntu for this. I've also
forwarded the issue to the upstream GStreamer developers
