I can't seem to find any Zoom client at all in the official Debian repositories. It also doesn't really sound like something that the Debian project _would_ package. https://packages.debian.org/search?keywords=zoom (which searches everything from buster to trixie plus sid and experimental, across all architectures) lists packages named libnet-z3950-simple2zoom-perl, libnet-z3950-zoom-perl, libnet-z3950-zoom-perl-dbgsym, node-d3-zoom, ruby-zoom, ruby-zoom-dbgsym, xzoom, xzoom-dbgsym, zoom-player and zoom-player-dbgsym; none of which appear to be in any way related to the proprietary videoconferencing service. That said, if it's packaged for Debian somewhere and the packaged version does not work for its intended purpose on a version of Debian it's advertised as being packaged for, then yes, my firm belief is that making some sort of report of this to whoever packages it that it doesn't work properly (ideally with steps to reproduce the incorrect behavior) is entirely reasonable. _If_ that is the Debian project, then filing a bug against the specific package through the Debian bug tracker is the correct way to do it. _If so_, then start at <https://www.debian.org/Bugs/Reporting>. -- Michael Kjörling 🔗 https://michael.kjorling.se “Remember when, on the Internet, nobody cared that you were a dog?”
