[aur-general] Rename package?
The name of this package doesn't seem quite right: "lib32-gstreamer0.10-base `pacman -Q|grep gstreamer0\.10\-" https://aur.archlinux.org/packages.php?ID=15586

That's what happens when you try to put magical crap in a PKGBUILD. The AUR's PKGBUILD parser is (correctly) simplistic and will not execute arbitrary code like this. Someone should adopt this and fix it, or it should be nuked. @CryptoCrack: shouldn't we at least follow the same validation rules as makepkg as far as pkgver goes? No dashes, no whitespace, etc... Yes yes, I'm sure this is a "patches welcome" scenario. d

I already talked to the previous maintainer about this "magical crap", but it seems I just wasted my time... Now I adopted and fixed. I can maintain it, if no one else wants it. Cheers
