[Michael Totschnig]

Public bug reported:

Binary package hint: gstreamer0.10-ffmpeg

After upgrade to intrepid playing mpeg4 video with totem did not work. Following error was shown in console:
(totem:6702): GStreamer-WARNING **: Failed to load plugin '/usr/lib/gstreamer-0.10/libgstffmpeg.so': libx264.so.57: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory

Intrepid no longer has version 57 of libx264, but 59.
As a workaround I did
sudo ln -s /usr/lib/libx264.so.59 /usr/lib/libx264.so.57
