Question about libgstreamer0.10-dev

[Bolin Hsu]

Hi,

I found some inconsistency in the libgstreamer0.10-dev package. The package
version is 0.10.36. But the header file shows 0.10.21. How would one fix
such problem?

By the way, I encountered the problem on 64-bit ubuntu 12.04.5 LTS. For
comparison, I installed the same package libgstreamer0.10-dev on 32-bit
ubuntu 12.04.4 LTS and found the header file consistent with the package
version number.

The following is what I observed on 64-bit ubuntu:

# dpkg -S /usr/include/gstreamer-0.10/gst/gstversion.h
libgstreamer0.10-dev: /usr/include/gstreamer-0.10/gst/gstversion.h

# dpkg -s libgstreamer0.10-dev

Description: GStreamer core development files
 GStreamer is a streaming media framework, based on graphs of filters
 which operate on media data.  Applications using this library can do
 anything from real-time sound processing to playing videos, and just
 about anything else media-related.  Its plugin-based architecture means
 that new data types or processing capabilities can be added simply by
 installing new plug-ins.
 .
 This package contains development files for the core library and
 elements.
