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

Christophe, the minimal system I had started with is an alpha antiX-core and
I found that the developer forgot those old plugins inside
/usr/lib/mozilla/plugins. So, sorry for the fuss about it and I think you
can just close that bug report.

Please don't be upset with it, as I said the VLC plugin for Firefox
(Mozilla) never worked for me, at least in that site. Neither in Linux or
Windows. When I saw those old mplayer-plugins I though I had found the
reason :P and then rushed to report the 'bug'.

Anyway, there is a bug after all and if you like I could open another one.
But I'll wait your response.

Thank you.
