Bug Description

Binary package hint: pitivi

When launching Pitivi is starts to launch but fails.

This is the output when I launch from Terminal:

:~$ pitivi
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "/usr/bin/pitivi", line 117, in <module>
    _init_gobject_gtk_gst()
  File "/usr/bin/pitivi", line 106, in _init_gobject_gtk_gst
    import gst
  File "/usr/lib/python2.6/dist-packages/gst-0.10/gst/__init__.py", line 193, in <module>
    from _gst import *
RuntimeError: can't initialize module gst: Error re-scanning registry , child terminated by signal

I have just installed 9.10 (Karmic)
Pitivi version: 0.13.3-2

It did work when first installed but stopped. I did run a couple of updates since installing Pitivi which may have broken it? I am experiencing exact same problem and output in terminal when launching Jokosher as well.

I get the same type of error when starting all kind of gstreamer applications: "RuntimeError: can't initialize module gst: Error re-scanning registry , child terminated by signal"

- gstreamer -rpopertiers
- exaile
- rhythmbox
- totem

This seams to be the same bug as https://launchpad.net/bugs/438366
