marja11 Hi, it seems like mozilla-plugin-djvu is already supposed to be built, but on the other hand, I am unable to build the package from source due to a Qt breakage. See: https://sourceforge.net/tracker/?func=detail&aid=3496038&group_id=32953&atid=406583 I'll try to find the time to ask people about it, but I have to juggle some other priorities and interests. Regards, -- Shlomi Fish This message is a reminder that Mageia 1 is nearing its end of life. In approximately 25 days from now, Mageia will stop maintaining and issuing updates for Mageia 1. At that time this bug will be closed as WONTFIX (EOL) if it remains open with a Mageia 'version' of '1'. Package Maintainer: If you wish for this bug to remain open because you plan to fix it in a currently maintained version, simply change the 'version' to a later Mageia version prior to Mageia 1's end of life. Bug Reporter: Thank you for reporting this issue and we are sorry that we may not be able to fix it before Mageia 1 is end of life. If you would still like to see this bug fixed and are able to reproduce it against a later version of Mageia, you are encouraged to click on "Version" and change it against that version of Mageia. Although we aim to fix as many bugs as possible during every release's lifetime, sometimes those efforts are overtaken by events. Often a more recent Mageia release includes newer upstream software that fixes bugs or makes them obsolete. -- Mageia Bugsquad (In reply to comment #0) > The DjView4 release is in Mandriva 2010.1.

Regards, -- Shlomi Fish I have upgraded to Mageia 2. But I have not checked much in the way of bug reports in the past several weeks. A death in my immediate family has changed my perspective on what is important. If it is working for others in Mageia 2 I see no reason to keep this open for Mageia 1. Gene, I am sorry to hear about the death of your relative. This seems to work fine on Mageia 2 and on Cauldron, so I'm resolving this bug as fixed. Thanks for the report. Status:
