Please rebuild mkvtoolnix (was Doesn't recognize subtitles)

Confirmed.
Ogmrip is enable to encode video with subtitles because of this.
Rebuilding the package locally solve the problem.

Include debdiff if it's necessary.

The package has external rdepends so this should be done post-release via SRU.

Just to add some details about this for the SRU.

- Actual mkvtoolnix package have some binaries incompatibilities, many reported on Debian (http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=471049, http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=476879, or bugs report on the package : http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/pkgreport.cgi?package=mkvtoolnix).
- The only rdepends is ogmrip, and this bug make all encoding with subtitles impossible.
- I'm only request a binNMU. Debian make the same for Lenny (actual version is mkvtoolnix_2.0.2-1.1+b1).

This bug was fixed in the package mkvtoolnix - 2.0.2-1.1build1

mkvtoolnix (2.0.2-1.1build1) jaunty; urgency=low

  * Rebuild to fix srt detection (LP: #285598).

...And what's the solution for Intrepid ?? Don't say we have to wait for Jaunty for that...
Thx ;)

As a ugly workaround I found this repository :
http://www.bunkus.org/videotools/mkvtoolnix/downloads.html#ubuntu

Thx, it works great ;)

Thanks it works also for me. But it is a pity that this is the only way.
Sorry for the rant.

Problem solved with going up to 2.5.2 which was published in the last 24 hours. As 2.5.1 has a big problem with setting the locales go straight for the current one.

Also, if it is possible to bump the development version from 2.4 to 2.5 or the future distribution will have again a terribly old version.

The bug report is wrongly stated.

There is NOT a problem with ALL subtitles. If you bother to read the matroska documentation or just the error message given by mkvtoolnix you find out that only vosub, srt and ssa/ass are supported right now. Never tried with vosub at this version (never will as I just went up to the latest version). But ssa/ass are accepted. Only srt is not recognised in this 2.0.2 version. The problem with ssa/ass is that the players I have tested (vlc, mplayer, gmplayer, totem) seem unable to show them.

Excellent. Than it can be closed as future version do not have this problem.

No debdiff for SRU attached; unsubscribing MOTU-SRU. If a SRU is desired, please provide the necessary information and resubscribe.

Intrepid Ibex reached end-of-life on 30 April 2010 so I am closing the
report. The bug has been fixed in newer releases of Ubuntu.
