PixInsight cannot work on Debian testing anymore

[lock042]

Hello, due to dependencies to libgstreamer-plugins-base0.10-0 and according to this: https://packages.debian.org/search?lang=fr&searchon=names&keywords=libgstreamer-plugins-base, the 0.10 version is not available anymore in testing (stretch).
In consequence, PixInsight cannot be launched on this system anymore.

Best regards

As Ubuntu is based on Debian, there is a simple and hacky workaround:

Code: [Select]

> mkdir debs && cd debs
> wget http://fr.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/pool/main/g/gst-plugins-base0.10/libgstreamer-plugins-base0.10-0_0.10.36-1_amd64.deb
> wget wget http://fr.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/pool/universe/g/gstreamer0.10/libgstreamer0.10-0_0.10.36-1.5ubuntu1_amd64.deb
> sudo dpkg --install *

Code: [Select]

> uname -a && lsb_release -a && /opt/PixInsight/bin/PixInsight.sh

Don't like too much installing old packages.
I think that the best solution would be to take into account both versions of the library in PixInsight as the old one will be deprecated.
Don't you think ?

However, thanks for the tip !!

In my case, PixInsight doesn't work without library libgstapp-0.10.so.0:

Code: [Select]

astronom@ubuntu:~$ /opt/PixInsight/bin/PixInsight.sh %F
/opt/PixInsight/bin/PixInsight: error while loading shared libraries: libgstapp-0.10.so.0: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory.

My OS is Ubuntu Astronomy 16.04 (64 bit).
