[PD] Gem / [pix_movie] trouble: "no movie decoding backends found"

[Carlos Franke]

IOhannes, thank you! So it was two completely different causes, even
though resulting in the same error message.

On the Raspberry Pi, I was indeed merely missing the gem-plugin-*
packages. It's working there now.

About the Laptop:

I only got the version number from the README, deken itself shows it as
"Gem-v0.0.extended".

Ok, I hear you and will not try deken for Gem again. I'm going to see
if I can package Gem for Arch.
