Package: linphone-desktop
Version: 4.2.5-3
Severity: important

linphone-desktop's settings has a H264 codec available. When you activate it via the Status button, it downloads Cisco's
OpenH264 library but fails to enable the codec. This is free software but downloading it this way is discouraged in
Debian. It is available as Debian package, so please either use that and make it work or patch the program not to offer
the non-functional codec.

Please find a patch attached to disable the downloader.
Using the compile option ENABLE_OPENH264=OFF does not do the trick.
