I don't understand why is important that this soft isn't in develop or maintained anymore, the program runs fine once a player is installed, this isn't a cplay bug.
If showing to the user the option to choose any of the compatible players is annoying just install one player or like gentoo, arch and many others distro do show a little message that inform to the user that he must install a compatible player for make this program usefull. I really don't see the point to the "There are certainly many, many packages out there that are useless without programs that use them" if in other packages are dependency problems must be corrected there too, good packages and dependency resolv is why ppl choose a Debian based distribution instead a RH one. In my opinion this bug must be fixed here in Ubuntu or Debian and has nothing to do with this program not being developed anymore. I remark, if you install any of the compatible players Cplay works like a charm. /* Sorry for my english */ -- cplay package dont install any player, leaving the frontend useless https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/139459 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
