the bug doesn't really seems very bad from the bug descrition. you |
| 68 |
could just manually unmask the package as i did. the alternative is to |
| 69 |
use -real and to not compile any realcodecs but you won't be able to |
| 70 |
play wmv and rm files anymore. if you don't have that sort of files |
| 71 |
you could just use -real and remove the amd64codecs. |
