software center not working after openshot install

Wow. That's a strange error. I'm pretty sure this is not related to
OpenShot. I would post this question to Ubuntu's LaunchPad page, and see if
they can offer some advice. Good luck.

No this has nothing to do with openshot.
I have it too on my comp and I have not yet installed openshot ;)

I had the same problem with another application, with PIDGIN.
This has to do with openshot, beacuse after uninstall openshot-frei0r deb packages.
The problem was with openshot-wizard 1.0.6 in debian squeeze.

In debian/sid i get the same error when launching rhythmbox,
i guess the bug comes from the gstreamer0.10-plugins-bad (version 0.10.17-2)
package which contains /usr/lib/gstreamer-0.10/libgstfrei0r.so

Sorry to spoil the party ...

In Linux Mint i have the same problem AFTER installing openshot (first using the cli-installer)
... and after purging the gstreamer bad-plugins everything works ...
