This continues to be a problem today, now apt wants to remove
gstreamer1.0-plugins-good for no good reason. Specifying
`ubuntu-desktop gstreamer1.0-plugins-good` as the argument to
`dist-upgrade` / `full-upgrade` should probably get you sorted
out.
I kept a solver dump to see how to improve that. I anticipate
this can be solved by simply adding Conflicts: libfoo1, ...
for each pre-t64 libfoo1 that gstreamer1.0-plugins-good uses
- the way the solver works is it scores packages, and this should
give the pre-t64 libraries less favourable scores vs the package
we want to keep.
Of course we can quirk this fine in ubuntu-release-upgrader for people
upgrading to noble, but it's always good to know your options (and
Debian will probably have to do some Conflict quirking anyway).
