[Bug 899001] Re: gst-install wants to install i386-version of codec packages on amd64

[Timo Jyrinki]

Same situation here on a fresh install on up-to-date precise.
gstreamer0.10-plugins-bad:i386 is selected to be installed by default
(for me, gstreamer0.10-ffmpeg:i386 is not selected by default).
Unselecting that and selecting the normal (non-:i386) ffmpeg manually
works.

Title:
  gst-install wants to install i386-version of codec packages on amd64

Status in “sessioninstaller” package in Ubuntu:
  Confirmed

Bug description:
  Hello,

  I was testing video playback in Precise Alpha 1 and tried to watch a
  MP4 video file.

  After Totem started, the gst-install window came up correctly but
  wanted to install the i386-versions of the corresponding codec
  packages (see attached screenshot). The amd64-versions were also shown
  but unselected by default.

  Selecting the amd64 packages and trying to install them failed after
  some time with an "unexspected error" that occured (detailed error
  message: org.freedesktop.DBus.Error.NoReply: Message did not receive a
  reply (timeout by message bus) ).

  Kind regards,
  Jan
