Binary package hint: audacious

7.10 i386
fresh tarball of audacious 1.5.1 and its plugins.
Someone says that the bug maybe isn't related to audacious and they solved by updating to 8.10

Hello!

Thank you for taking the time to report this bug and trying to make Ubuntu better.

I've read the discussion and understood the problem. Other users in that discussion pointed out that this bug is fixed with Ubuntu 8.10 , and I can confirm that audacious works as you expected with 8.10 . For this reason I'm going to mark this bug as Invalid since we don't know which code change fixes it.

If you want you can request a Backport for these packages but since Ubuntu 7.10 will be outdated in some months I don't think it will be worth that. Anyway you can find more information about backports here: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UbuntuBackports#request-new-packages .

Thank you again for taking the time to report this bug and helping to make Ubuntu better. Feel free to submit any future bugs you may find.

Thank you, unfortunately I can't update that box :(
If I got it right from backports link, devs could build a package WITHOUT this bug on 7.10, isn't it?

Yes, it is. But since Ubuntu 7.10 will be outdated in some months I really don't think that some developer will start to work on this issue. Anyway you could file a new request for a backport, you never know.

Thank you.
