lirc plugin not working, missing file?

to confirm or send on bugzilla.gnome.org by somebody having a lirc configuration

could you try to strace rhythmbox and see what configuration it tries to open?

it seems that the file rhythmbox_lirc_default is missing, if i download it from svn and put it in ~/.gnome2/rhythmbox/plugins/rblirc/ remote works fine.

rhythmbox_lirc_default is installed under /usr/lib/rhythmbox/plugins/lirc but the code seems to look in the wrong directory

This bug was fixed in the package rhythmbox - 0.11.6svn20081008-0ubuntu1
