Package: mplayer
Version: 1.0~rc1-12etch1
Severity: normal
binary_codecs.sh is a script that comes with the mplayer package to let the
user download and install a pack of binary codecs. This script downloads a
list of mirrors, and then tries to decide which are the best mirrors.
1) It tries to do it using netselect, but if netselect isn't installed it tries
with fping, and if fping isn't installed a message says "if you install
netselect...". Maybe that message should be said even if fping is installed.
2) *This* is the bug. If there's no netselect but there's fping, fping is used
to determine the best five mirrors (by order). The problem is that the
output doesn't give the full path to the pack we want to download, but only
the mirror. Thus, this script *fails* to anyone that has fping but not
netselect.
The following patch solves the second issue, please apply it.
