🔢 Build Failed: Dependency Version Mismatch

Dependency gstreamer-1.0 found: NO. Found 1.27.2 but need: '>= 1.27.50' - Subproject gstreamer is buildable: NO - Attempted to resolve subproject without subprojects directory present.

Build Details

Category	Details
Build System	meson
Failure Point	meson setup during configure step

Root Cause Analysis 🔍

The build requires GStreamer version >= 1.27.50 but only version 1.27.2 is available in the system. Additionally, meson attempted to fallback to a subproject but failed because no subprojects directory is present in the build environment.

Analysis

The similar fixes show a consistent pattern: GStreamer version mismatches are resolved by updating the package version to meet the minimum requirement. In all three examples, the fixes involved bumping the version number from an older version to a newer one that satisfies the dependency requirements. Fix #0 and #1 both updated from 1.27.1 to 1.27.2, and Fix #2 updated from 1.24.11 to 1.25.1. Additionally, the fixes updated the expected-commit hash to match the new version tag. The current failure shows gst-libav requires GStreamer >= 1.27.50 but only 1.27.2 is available, indicating the GStreamer core packages need to be updated to version 1.27.50.

Explanation

The build failure occurs because gst-libav version 1.27.50 requires GStreamer >= 1.27.50, but the currently available GStreamer packages (gstreamer-dev, gst-plugins-base-dev) are only at version 1.27.2. The dependency chain requires updating the entire GStreamer ecosystem to version 1.27.50. Based on the pattern from similar fixes, this requires updating the core GStreamer package and all related plugin packages to the same version (1.27.50) and updating their corresponding git commit hashes. The gst-libav package is already correctly configured for version 1.27.50 with the proper commit hash (98f0ec4b5dd48b36365e85ad8695e88b4a7d7ec0), so the other GStreamer packages need to be brought up to this same version and commit to resolve the dependency mismatch.

Alternative Approaches

• Downgrade gst-libav to match the available GStreamer version (1.27.2), but this would go against Wolfi's principle of keeping packages up to date
• Add build flags to disable strict version checking, but this could lead to runtime compatibility issues
• Build GStreamer from source as a subproject within gst-libav, but this would significantly increase build complexity and time
