Bug#307832: freewrl: NO plugin file included

[Michael D. Schleif]

Package: freewrl
Version: 1.07-1
Severity: grave
Justification: renders package unusable


[1]  This is what aptitude says is included with thie package:

# aptitude show freewrl
Package: freewrl
State: installed
Automatically installed: no
Version: 1.07-1
 ...
Description: VRML browser and netscape plugin

[2] When the plugin does NOT work, I goto the project homepage, and
there it says this:


1. Is the Plugin installed?

"After installing FreeWRL, restart your browser. The file "npfreewrl.so"
is the FreeWRL Plugin; it should reside in a directory where your
browser can find it."

[3] Neither of the following quries find "npfreewrl.so" on my systems:

dpkg -L freewrl

find / | grep npfreewrl


What do you think?

It indeed doesn't include any netscape plugin in the binary
package so the description should be fixed or the netscape
plugin build again.

Downgrading the bug though because the package is still fully
usable as a standalone browser.

Gruesse,
