Package: advi
Version: 1.5.2+cvs-2004.07.27-2
Compared with package 1.4.0-7, this new advi package lacks (at least)
the file /usr/lib/advi/advi.pro which is used for postscript rendering.
Sincerely,
Pierre Letouzey

No problem, thanks for following up on this, closing this bug report now that
we got to the end of it.
Thanks for testing advi, it is in sore need of testing and development, so any
help of actual users would be welcome to deal with some of the other bug
reports involved. It has been ages since i did presentations, and i don't
really use it regularly anymore.
Friendly,
Sven Luther
