[solved] Digikam crashes on GStreamer

Earlier today Digikam suddently crashed on each start with the message below.

(digikam:529): GLib-GObject-WARNING **: specified class size for type 'GstBaseAudioSink' is smaller than the parent type's 'GstBaseSink' class size
(digikam:529): GLib-CRITICAL **: g_once_init_leave: assertion 'result != 0' failed

(digikam:529): GLib-GObject-WARNING **: specified class size for type 'GstAlsaSrc' is smaller than the parent type's 'GstAudioSrc' class size
<SNIP>

For the record, updating the system tonight solved the issue. As I'm no expert all I can say is I saw gcc and lots of qt5-related packages in this update, and no GStreamer or audio ones.
