gstreamer-python broke SoundConverter on Fedora 23

Users having installed SoundConverter on Fedora 23 may notice the app will silently fail to run. The issue is caused by gstreamer-python which possibly needs a rebuilt. Running via terminal lead with this message:

SoundConverter needs python-gstreamer 0.10!

Running python on terminal leads to the following result:

$ python
Python 2.7.10 (default, Sep  8 2015, 17:20:17)
[GCC 5.1.1 20150618 (Red Hat 5.1.1-4)] on linux2
Type "help", "copyright", "credits" or "license" for more information.
>>> import gst
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "", line 1, in
  File "/usr/lib64/python2.7/site-packages/gst-0.10/gst/__init__.py", line 193, in
    from _gst import *
ImportError: /usr/lib64/python2.7/site-packages/gst-0.10/gst/_gst.so: undefined symbol: libxml_xmlDocPtrWrap
>>> exit ()
 



 Current workaround is to downgrade it using Fedora 22 package via dnf

sudo dnf downgrade gstreamer-python --releasever=22

Bug is filed while waiting for a fix.

No network on Fedora 9 x86_64 follow up

Following my post related to NetworkManager . I have found out about the workaround. If you have x86_64 system with 4GB support enabled, you should disable it in order to make NetworkManager work. I am not sure if that bug affects other distributions so, possibly the bug may be related to the x86_64 kernel. Let see if my theory can be verified.
