[Bug 2060730] Re: totem cannot install codecs via packagekit
Hi folks,
I've attempted to verify this on an arm64 server running noble, but I've
been unable to understand what's different when using the Test Plan from
the description with packagekit from noble-proposed. When I run the
pkcon queries for 64bit, I get empty outputs:
ubuntu@noble-arm64:~$ pkcon what-provides "gstreamer1(decoder-audio/mpeg)(mpegversion=4)()(64bit)"

I don't see different results even when running with the ones from
proposed, so maybe I'm missing some steps?

Bug description:
[ Impact ]
While attempting to play a video on Ubuntu noble desktop for raspberry
pi, totem attempts to locate a package for the H.264 codec but cannot
find a service providing org.freedesktop.PackageKit.
The main source of the bug is that App Center does not implement
org.freedesktop.PackageKit.Modify2 on the session bus, which would
prompt the user to install the missing codecs. This is being worked on
and will be delivered as a snap update.
But a fix to PackageKit itself is also necessary in order to correctly
resolve the codec providers.
[ Test Plan ]
For the purpose of the SRU, we're only going to verify the PackageKit fix.
Verify the output of the following commands:
1. $ pkcon what-provides "gstreamer1(decoder-audio/mpeg)(mpegversion=4)()(64bit)"
-> gstreamer1.0-fdkaac-*.amd64
-> gstreamer1.0-libav-*.amd64
-> gstreamer1.0-plugins-bad-*.amd64
-> gstreamer1.0-plugins-good-*.amd64
2. $ pkcon what-provides "gstreamer1(decoder-audio/mpeg)(mpegversion=4)"
-> gstreamer1.0-fdkaac-*.amd64
-> gstreamer1.0-libav-*.amd64
-> gstreamer1.0-plugins-bad-*.amd64
-> gstreamer1.0-plugins-good-*.amd64
Additionally, if you have enabled the i386 dpkg architecture on amd64:
-> gstreamer1.0-libav-*.i386
-> gstreamer1.0-plugins-bad-*.i386
-> gstreamer1.0-plugins-good-*.i386
3. $ pkcon what-provides "gstreamer1(decoder-video/x-h265)()(64bit)"
-> gstreamer1.0-libav-*.amd64
-> gstreamer1.0-plugins-bad-*.amd64
4. $ pkcon what-provides "gstreamer1(decoder-video/x-h265)"
-> gstreamer1.0-libav-*.amd64
-> gstreamer1.0-plugins-bad-*.amd64
Additionally, if you have enabled the i386 dpkg architecture on amd64:
-> gstreamer1.0-libav-*.i386
-> gstreamer1.0-plugins-bad-*.i386
[ Where problems could occur ]
The patch can only affect the behaviour of matching GStreamer capabilities.
No other packagekit features are affected.
Problems could manifest with `pkcon what-provides gstreamer1(...)` queries returning the wrong package names. This is verified in the test plan.
