Package: mozilla-mplayer Version: 2.70-1 Severity: grave The plugin makes Firefox very unstable, because the browser crashes very often after the plugin has been used in the same session. A way to reproduce a crash:
1. go at http://fredrik.hubbe.net/plugger/test.mpg 2. play the video for some seconds 3. click on the homepage button, without stopping the video 4. when the homepage is shown, click on Edit --> Preferences 5. crash But the crashes can happen in several ways, even if you stop correctly the video before changing webpage. According to the bug #275240, the reason is a bug in libc6 and it's been fixed in glibc/2.3.5-3. But glibc/2.3.5-3 can't be used on Sarge, so it's not a solution for the stable release. In this situation, it's strange that mozilla-mplayer is in the stable branch. So: 1: you must search a way to correct the problem of the plugin with glibc2.3.2 2: if it's not possible, the mantainers of libc6 should find a way to fix the problem also with glibc2.3.2 3: if the solution n°1 and n°2 are not possible, the package should be deleted from the stable branch, because it's not stable at all and makes the browsers crash very often Anyway a solution should be found, because the plugin is a very good tool. Thanks for your work in Debian. Paolo ____________________________________________________________ Libero Flat, sempre a 4 Mega a 19,95 euro al mese! Abbonati subito su http://www.libero.it
