Bug#307832: freewrl: NO plugin file included
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:
<http://freewrl.sourceforge.net/faq.html#SectionLinuxCommonProblems2>
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?
