I assume Zoom has a non-Free software license. (Free as in freedom.) Because of that, I think the "wrapper only" comment probably means the package only contains code that grabs the software from elsewhere, rather than including the software in the package itself. The same thing that's often done with other packages, like Adobe Flash and the Microsoft core fonts for the Web, as a workaround for restrictions on distribution. I can't say whether it works or not, as I've never come across it before. I would probably try the .deb directly from their download page. It claims compatibility with Linux Mint 17.1+. https://zoom.us/download#client_4meeting Patrick -- Next meeting: BEC, Bournemouth, Tuesday, post-lurgi 20:00 Check to whom you are replying Meetings, mailing list, IRC, ... http://dorset.lug.org.uk/ New thread, don't hijack: mailto:dorset@mailman.lug.org.uk
