<PRE>Le mercredi 30 mars 2011 &#224; 23:24 +0200, Luc Menut a &#233;crit :
&gt;<i> Hi all,
</I>&gt;<i> 
</I>&gt;<i> Currently, pk-gstreamer-install is the preferred 
</I>&gt;<i> gst-install-plugins-helper in update-alternatives and prefer.vendor.list.
</I>&gt;<i> When it try to install a missing codec, I obtain these messages and it 
</I>&gt;<i> doesn't install the needed codec.
</I>&gt;<i> ...
</I>&gt;<i> ** Message: PackageKit: structure: 
</I>&gt;<i> gstreamer0.10(decoder-audio/mpeg)(mpegaudioversion=1)(mpegversion=1)(layer=3)()(64bit)
</I>&gt;<i> ** Message: PackageKit: Did not install codec: Failed to search for provides
</I>&gt;<i> ...
</I>&gt;<i> 
</I>&gt;<i> IIRC, in order to install missing gstreamer codec packages, the 
</I>&gt;<i> packagekit backend should have the Whatprovides feature, but the urpmi 
</I>&gt;<i> backend doesn't have this feature yet.
</I>&gt;<i> <A HREF="http://www.packagekit.org/pk-matrix.html">http://www.packagekit.org/pk-matrix.html</A>
</I>&gt;<i> <A HREF="http://gitorious.org/packagekit/packagekit/trees/master/backends/urpmi">http://gitorious.org/packagekit/packagekit/trees/master/backends/urpmi</A>
</I>&gt;<i> 
</I>&gt;<i> Is it planned to have whatprovides in the urpmi backend before the 
</I>&gt;<i> release of Mageia 1? or should we revert to use codeina? or another 
</I>&gt;<i> alternative?
</I>
IMHO, the work should be done for that. We discussed of this during
packager meeting
( <A HREF="http://meetbot.mageia.org/mageia-dev/2011/mageia-dev.2011-01-26-20.03.html">http://meetbot.mageia.org/mageia-dev/2011/mageia-dev.2011-01-26-20.03.html</A> ), but no patch were written. I estimated the work to 1 day for someone who know perl and can read perl-URPM documentation, and packagekit one.
