[Pkg-mozext-maintainers] Bug#932721: webext-https-everywhere: error loading extension: wasm/https_everywhere_lib_wasm.js could not be read

[Martin Steigerwald]

Package: webext-https-everywhere
Version: 2019.6.27-1
Severity: normal

Dear Maintainer,

since some days when I start chromium I get:

Fehler beim Laden der Erweiterung aus: /usr/share/webext/https-everywhere.
Hintergrundskript "wasm/https_everywhere_lib_wasm.js" konnte nicht geladen
werden.

which means in english:

Error while loading extension from: /usr/share/webext/https-everywhere.
Background script "wasm/https_everywhere_lib_wasm.js" could not be loaded.

Indeed the file does not appear to be there:

find /usr/share/webext/https-everywhere/ -iname https_everywhere_lib_wasm.js

returns nothing. There is not even a "wasm" directory within
"/usr/share/webext/https-everywhere".

Firefox loads the extension just fine.

Thanks,
Martin
