Description Volker Stolz freebsd_committer freebsd_triage 2004-09-05 13:00:46 UTC 
The package will create a cache in /root, both the port and the package will create the
cache on deinstallation.

How-To-Repeat: Install gstreamer-plugins from package , check for /root/.gstreamer-0.8/registry.xml
(IIRC older version of the required gstreamer-port will already have created this file,
so better wipe it first).
The post-install-target already contains the necessary fix.

Please consider merging this into the 5.3 release.

Over to maintainer. 

Another independent fact I just discovered: 
I just noticed that gst-register will always create the directory 
$HOME/.gstreamer-0.8 :/ Notice that if you're using 'sudo' to 
install it this will be your user's home directory.
