Thanks for the insight here. My rationale for downgrading was that there are a handful other tests that fail on armhf; but I just realized that we haven't had "gst-plugins-base" working on armhf for a long time. 1.12.5 is also "newer" than 1.14.0. Since there are problems on aarch64 too I went ahead and started the branch with 1.12.5. Let's revisit this issue on 'core-updates'. --=-=-= Content-Type: application/pgp-signature; name="signature.asc" -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- iQEzBAEBCgAdFiEEu7At3yzq9qgNHeZDoqBt8qM6VPoFAlrgivUACgkQoqBt8qM6 VPp9dwf+MalAb3bRcilhmTiFEWnlslzUvv71jqTfOdCedXeyd0p3ktqEMKVNIFhq 8YKGLLfFcsTbPEluiVM6a+QENiHihaSVeMIe1JWUhamBwky2A/qVTLWicDiQ4nxm anlxYJxPSKnshXzJD4mvrsKciAGjW5NbRSNo1fwCm5seY4XkRLR71CiWhzd83ADi f1tMTGxvbLdh/ernkW7enKVF/qoP0YmjxrGr/c/ZtXeR4g4tUXdxgs7J/CzjPFJG NAOI1VIS42coxm28sUgGVeXVtO87OxtCTJ80/yQ5b9BbQhdsp9vy4nygTHHteuGb zXJDv2WadbaTwKXsVlYBedeC5SQxmQ== =5fvH -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- --=-=-=--
