[ Originally reported on https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-devel-discuss ] The Dynamic Geometry Software, Java application "carmetal" (Version: 4.3-2) has a help menu which includes options to go to the CarMetal site CarZine site and official C.a.R. site. The last is a link https://car.rene-grothmann.de/doc_en/ to a no-longer existing site. Worse, the CarMetal site link http://carmetal.org/index.php/fr/ and the CarZine site http://carmetal.org/index.php/fr/tutoriels/carzine redirect to the gambling site https://bcgame46.com/ Should we/someone remove "help" menu items that misuse internet access ? [ My Firefox warns me that it has prevented this page from automatically redirecting to another page ... but redirects anyway, without waiting for me to select "allow". Since this is a Mozilla build of Firefox, I am not reporting that as a bug here, but I don't want anyone else taken directly to the gambling site. ] ProblemType: Bug DistroRelease: Ubuntu 25.10 Package: carmetal 4.3-2 ProcVersionSignature: Ubuntu 6.17.0-12.12-generic 6.17.2 Uname: Linux 6.17.0-12-generic x86_64 ApportVersion: 2.33.1-0ubuntu3 Architecture: amd64 CasperMD5CheckResult: unknown Date: Mon Feb 2 16:23:51 2026 InstallationDate: Installed on 2018-12-01 (2620 days ago) InstallationMedia: Lubuntu 18.04 LTS "Bionic Beaver" - Release amd64 (20180426) PackageArchitecture: all SourcePackage: carmetal UpgradeStatus: Upgraded to questing on 2020-11-06 (1914 days ago) ** Affects: carmetal (Ubuntu) Importance: Undecided Status: New ** Tags: amd64 apport-bug questing -- carmetal help menu accesses online gambling site https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/2139613 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to the bug report. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
