Bug Description
Fresh Kubuntu 64-bit installation
Inserted a home-burnt DVD. Open it with Dragon, click 'Play disk'. It tells that it can't find some (gstreamer element) packages, should we try to find them. I click yes, it starts qapt.
ps -Af shows /usr/bin/
All I get is a small windows & progress bar (not moving), tellin "Looking for plugins". And that's it.
If I try to run the same command (that ps -Af gave) from command line, I get
rhk@haapa:/media$ /usr/bin/
0.10: command not found
0.10: command not found
GStreamer: command not found
GStreamer: command not foundelement-
dragonplayer: command not founddragonplayer: command not found
element-rsndvdbin: command not found
So I guess there's something wrong in the way how Dragon calls qapt so maybe actualy this should be reported to Dragonplayer, not qapt?

If you run it as /usr/bin/ gstreamer- codec-install --transient- for=83886098 "gstreamer| 0.10|dragonplay er|GStreamer element dvdspu| element- dvdspu" "gstreamer| 0.10|dragonplay er|GStreamer element rsndvdbin| element- rsndvdbin" it'll run from the command line.
It isn't related to the bug, though, since running a command from the shell behaves a bit differently than running it from another program. (The | are recognized as pipes by the shell, and they try to run whatever is directly after it and piping it the output of the previous command.)
The bug here is that the QApt GStreamer Helper cannot find packages providing a GStreamer Element itself, even if it can find packages that contain certain GStreamer Element Caps. (Capabilities)
