DetailsGstreamer010-good-plugins which is the default phonon backend for KDE pulls a part of GNOME cause of its dependency to liboup-gnome.
pacman -S --asdeps gstreamer0.10-good-plugins resolving dependencies... looking for inter-conflicts... Targets (19): gstreamer0.10-good-0.10.26-1 libavc1394-0.5.3-3 libiec61883-1.2.0-2 aalib-1.4rc5-7 audiofile-0.2.7-1 esound-0.2.41-1 libidl2-0.8.14-1 orbit2-2.14.19-1 atk-1.32.0-1 gdk-pixbuf2-2.22.1-1 gtk2-2.22.1-1 gconf-2.32.0-1 wavpack-4.60.1-1 libsoup-2.32.2-1 libgnome-keyring-2.32.0-1 libsoup-gnome-2.32.2-1 imlib2-1.4.4-1 libcaca-0.99.beta17-1 gstreamer0.10-good-plugins-0.10.26-1 I think (at least) libsoup-gnome could be an optional dependency as i think it isnt part of core functionality of the gstreamer plugins package. Thank you. |

Reason for closing: Won't implement
Additional comments about closing: I don't want to make these things optional. Installing gstreamer plugins should be simple and easy. We used to have a split package for each and every plugin, and in the end everyone installs the complete groups anyways. Debugging missing plugins due to missing libraries will become a hell with this.

Either way i think this should be implemented somehow as KDE plans to intergrate gstreamer more AFAICT.
Maybe split packages is also an option? Sounds a bit complex, if applicable at all.
