[Bug 511632] Re: Cannot download gstreamer0.10-plugins-bad

[Onkar Shinde]

@Draycen,

gstreamer0.10-plugins-bad* package do not depend on ubuntu-restricted-
extras in any way. ubuntu-restricted-extras is a meta package which
pulls lot of gstreamer plugin packages as well as Sun JRE package.

@John,
gstreamer0.10-plugins-bad has a midi plugin which needs freepats package to work properly. So when you try to install gstreamer0.10-plugins-bad the freepats package is alo installed. The freepats package is huge in size (29 MB). This might be the reason the download appeared to be stuck at 5%. You can bypass the installation of freepats package when installing gstreamer package in following way.
In Synaptic go to Preferences -> General -> Marking Changes. There is a checkbox 'Consider recommended packages as dependencies'. Disable this checkbox and then try to install gstreamer0.10-plugins-bad package.

** Package changed: gst-plugins-bad-multiverse0.10 (Ubuntu) => gst-
plugins-bad0.10 (Ubuntu)
