Hi Nathan,

So it looks like the link was fixed upstream... I hope I didn't create a mess by bad reporting. Thanks for the help though, I now understand the process of bug reporting.

I'm running Jaunty, which might explain why, even after updated Synaptic, ubuntu-restricted-extras v 31 was the latest release.

Am I interpreting this correctly? Will ubuntu-restricted-extras version 34 not be available for Jaunty via Synaptic?

Also... When there are version updates, is there some way that fixes like this (to previously unreported bugs) get logged? If not... Is it still useful to have the bug logged or is it just a pain?

Allison
