Problem with installed package gstreamer-rtsp-0.10.8-24.fc30.x86_64

[sudhirkhanger]

Hello,

I am trying to upgrade my Fedora 31 KDE install to Fedora 32. I encountered the following problem.

Error: 
 Problem: package gstreamer-rtsp-0.10.8-24.fc30.x86_64 requires libgstbase-0.10.so.0()(64bit), but none of the providers can be installed
  - package gstreamer-rtsp-0.10.8-24.fc30.x86_64 requires libgstreamer-0.10.so.0()(64bit), but none of the providers can be installed
  - gstreamer-0.10.36-24.fc31.x86_64 does not belong to a distupgrade repository
  - problem with installed package gstreamer-rtsp-0.10.8-24.fc30.x86_64

I had installed gstreamer-rtsp a couple of years ago along with the following gstreamer packages just to make sure I am able to play all sort of media files on my system.

sudo dnf install amrnb amrwb faac faad2 flac gstreamer1-libav gstreamer1-plugins-bad-freeworld gstreamer1-plugins-ugly \
gstreamer-ffmpeg gstreamer-plugins-bad-nonfree gstreamer-plugins-espeak gstreamer-plugins-fc gstreamer-plugins-ugly \
gstreamer-rtsp lame libdca libmad libmatroska x264 xvidcore gstreamer1-plugins-bad-free gstreamer1-plugins-base \
gstreamer1-plugins-good gstreamer-plugins-bad gstreamer-plugins-bad-free gstreamer-plugins-base gstreamer-plugins-good

I have following two questions.

1. How do deal with the problem mentioned with problem with installed package gstreamer-rtsp-0.10.8-24.fc30.x86_64 and gstreamer-0.10.36-24.fc31.x86_64 does not belong to a distupgrade repository?
2. What do you think of the codec packages I have listed above? Too much? About fine?

Thanks.

Good to see you here @sudhirkhanger. Welcome to the Fedora Community.

What happens when you do the following?:
sudo dnf remove gstreamer-rtsp

I don’t see that package in the repos here … probably obsoleted at some point
The repos show gstreamer1-*

Hello sudhirkhanger, and welcome to the forum.

That package, gstreamer-rtsp has been retired in Fedora 31 (you can see by the .f30 that your version was installed in Fedora 30), and apparently its dependencies are also no longer available in F32. However, you should no longer need it. You can remove it with dnf remove gstreamer-rtsp, that should let your upgrade proceed again.

If you run your system upgrade with the --allow-erasing option as describedhere, the system should be able to deal with this on it’s own. Just check the list of packages to be removed (dnf will list them for you during the upgrade) so you’re not surprised if something goes missing.

Regarding your list of plugins, basically it doesn’t matter how much you have installed, they take up a tiny amount of disc space and simply go unused if not needed. Note that all the old gstreamer0.10 stuff (i.e. not gstreamer1-*) that is not already retired will be going away in Fedora 33.

Edit: Didn’t see @twohot’s post in time. What he said .

Thanks you guys. I went ahead and used --allow-erasing and it seems it removed 0.10 packages.

Damn upgrade was damn fast this time. I am already on f32.

Awesome, make sure tick the post that solved it – see @lcts post
