Bug#588059: mozilla-plugin-vlc: This package is broken.

[Sergio Cipolla]

Yes I installed it now here in a Sid based system and it's like you said.
But testing has still VLC 1.0.6 so maybe it's different.

That site I said doesn't work. I opened the browser from the terminal and
saved the messages (the error says basically that it can't connect to a
certain address).

Before uninstalling gecko-mediaplayer and installing mozilla-plugin-mplayer
I just made sure that that site worked and it did. What I can do if you
think it's useful is to boot to another system that has gecko-mediaplayer
and also save the messages I get from it.

Do you want me to open another bug report or may I just send you the files
by email?

Thanks.
