Subject: bug#28352: stale cache in ~/.cache/gstreamer-1.0
Date: Mon, 04 Sep 2017 23:03:13 +0200

The gstreamer cache in ~/.cache/gstreamer-1.0 goes stale and must be
manually deleted after changing what gstreamer plugins are installed.
This can be dangerous as old plugins might be referenced long after they
have been upgraded, causing the user to continue using old plugins
despite an upgrade.
