🔢 Build Failed: Dependency Version Mismatch

Dependency gstreamer-1.0 found: NO. Found 1.27.2 but need: '>= 1.27.50'

Failure Point	meson setup configuration phase

Root Cause Analysis 🔍

The gst-plugins-base package requires GStreamer version >= 1.27.50, but the system has version 1.27.2 installed. This version mismatch prevents the build from proceeding. Additionally, there is no subproject directory or wrap file for gstreamer available to build the required version as a fallback.

Update GStreamer dependencies to specific version 1.27.50 to ensure version compatibility

Analysis

The similar fixes show a consistent pattern: when GStreamer dependency version mismatches occur, the solution is to update the package version to match the required GStreamer version and update the corresponding git commit hash. In all three examples, the fixes involved bumping the package version from 1.27.1 to 1.27.2 and updating the expected-commit from 1fa56616fb2684d505091213ae898887309ed3a0 to 285de3cf1de94b5b370a1af39446a7d1498d7c2c. This indicates that GStreamer plugins packages need to be kept in sync with the base GStreamer version.

Explanation

The current build failure occurs because gst-plugins-base version 1.27.50 requires GStreamer >= 1.27.50, but the build environment has GStreamer 1.27.2 installed. The fix is to ensure that the GStreamer dependency packages installed in the build environment match the required version. By specifying 'gstreamer-1.27.50' and 'gstreamer-1.27.50-dev' instead of just 'gstreamer' and 'gstreamer-dev', we ensure that the exact version required by the package is installed. This approach aligns with the pattern observed in similar fixes where version mismatches are resolved by ensuring dependency versions are properly aligned.

Alternative Approaches

• Wait for the base GStreamer package to be updated to version 1.27.50 in the repository, then rebuild without changing dependencies
• Add build-time dependency resolution by specifying minimum version constraints in the environment section
• Use a subproject or wrap file to build the required GStreamer version locally, though this goes against Wolfi's principle of using packaged dependencies

This continues the plugin split from gstreamer (started in #75518) and LGTM. Thanks!
