upgrade from lucid to precise removes most of my gsm sound files

[Nick Moffitt]

One of our PBXes uses the files in /usr/share/asterisk/*.gsm to provide user feedback. When we upgraded from lucid to precise, many of these files simply vanished!

 -- Executing [s@macro-agentauth:2] BackGround("SIP/gubble-00000242", "please-enter-the&number&astcc-followed-by-the-pound-key") in new stack
[Aug 31 09:59:44] WARNING[25369]: file.c:663 ast_openstream_full: File please-enter-the does not exist in any format

As a result, the users heard silence and didn't know what to do. I worked around this by grabbing /usr/share/asterisk/sounds/please-enter-the.gsm (and other files) from another system's lucid asterisk install and simply copying them into place on the precise server.

What package owns these files, now? How do I keep using packaged versions of them? I can't seem to find an appropriate package in precise that would hold these.

Status changed to 'Confirmed' because the bug affects multiple users.

This bug is *not* about asterisk-core-sounds-en-gsm. There was a
package for a while named asterisk-sounds-extra that had these files,
but that does not appear to be in precise.

You didn't reference asterisk-sounds-extra within your original post, my mistake for missing it. As for the issue, asterisk-sounds-extra looks to have been removed because an incompatible license. Looks like we are still waiting for Digium to fix it.
