Description:
I'm trying to run the opencv module from gst-plugins-bad and the module is blacklisted.


Additional info:
* gst-plugins-bad 1.6.1-1

Running gst-inspect reveals that the following:
(gst-plugin-scanner:3633): GStreamer-WARNING **: Failed to load plugin '/usr/lib/gstreamer-1.0/libgstkate.so': libkate.so.1: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory
(gst-plugin-scanner:3633): GStreamer-WARNING **: Failed to load plugin '/usr/lib/gstreamer-1.0/libgstopencv.so': libopencv_calib3d.so.2.4: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory
(gst-plugin-scanner:3633): GStreamer-WARNING **: Failed to load plugin '/usr/lib/gstreamer-1.0/libgstopenexr.so': libIlmImf-2_2.so.22: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory

I believe opencv and maybe openexr need to be included as dependencies or optional dependencies. Doing so (and clearing the gstreamer registry cache) allows one to run the opencv module from the plugin package and the last two failed "failed to load plugin" messages are gone, but the first with libkate.so.1 remains. My guess is there is still some gstreamer module which still does not work but I don't know which one needs libkate.so.1

Steps to reproduce:
Remove opencv and openexr if installed separately, remove the gstreamer registry cache, and run gst-inspect-1.0 opencv
This task depends upon

namcap also mentions gtk3 and openal.

For opencv the problem seems to be upstream. OpenCV version is checked against a minimum and a maximum version
like this "PKG_CHECK_MODULES(OPENCV, opencv >= 2.3.0 opencv < 2.5.0". I'd say upstream needs to be fixed
to allow newer OpenCV versions.

I cannot reproduce the issue. Is it still valid?
