📄 Description

As reported by @kolAflash[1]:

Description

If ~/.cache/gstreamer-1.0/ is empty, /usr/lib/python3* is needed
to initialize it.

Wine needs gstreamer for example in the case of
EpicGamesLauncherInstaller.msi[2] (2025-05-29).

Steps to Reproduce

Copy EpicInstaller-18.5.0.msi to ~/.wine/drive_c/.

Run:

firejail --profile=wine --whitelist="${HOME}"/.wine
wine msiexec /i 'C:\EpicInstaller-18.5.0.msi' /q

firejail --profile=wine --whitelist="${HOME}"/.wine
wine 'C:\Program Files (x86)\Epic Games\Launcher\Portal\Binaries\Win32\EpicGamesLauncher.exe'

Expected behavior

Epic Games Launcher login screen should show up.

Actual behavior

Epic Games Launcher is stuck loading the login screen.

Additional context

Workaround: Add --noblacklist=/usr/lib/python3*.

Name/version of the relevant program(s)/package(s):
gstreamer-1.26.1 by Debian-13, Wine-Devel-10.8 from
https://gitlab.winehq.org/wine/wine/-/wikis/Debian-Ubuntu

Note: Python is already allowed on lutris.profile and steam.profile.

Fixes #6762.
