Assigning to all packagers collectively, since there is no maintainer for this package.

Comment 2 Lewis Smith 2020-12-16 21:22:12 CET

I came across this by accident.
Given the simplicty of your correction comment 0, it is surprising that the bug remains in Mageia 7. Can you confirm that? I notice that the SRPM field above is:
 mozplugger-2.1.6-3.mga7.src.rpm
but the latest version is mozplugger-2.1.6-4.mga7.src.rpm - which perhaps corrects it.

For Cauldron, now M8, this SRPM no longer exists.

Suggested Workaround has been applied.

Looking forward to not needing it in mga8

Resolution: (none) => FIXED
