Bug#807763: Looking for help to solve licence and third-party issues of the tomahawk-player package
Hey,

I'm confused, on a Ubuntu 16.04 clean environment everything works fine
with multiarch support but on debian sid it does not work.
(https://launchpadlibrarian.net/240678247/tomahawk-player_0.8.4+dfsg1-0ubuntu1~xenial1_amd64.build)
Is there a different in multiarch support?

Most of them it is not useful. I had discussed this problematic with the
developers.

The developers say that this files are a bunch of code from a co-developer.

Crypto-js is removed now.

Is removed.

Please take a look on one of my old mails in this bug reports there is a
statement to the external libs. The most java script files are removed
now and tomahawk is using the system roboto font.
Kind regards,
