The existing 2780 is still non-redistributable, in that is was authored by
someone who has not affirmed the Contributor Agreement. I'd suggest that you
declined to install this component of the library, which is why it is now
missing. Maybe this was not clear in the language you selected for the
installation. I don't know your mother tongue, but if not English, German,
French, Dutch or Italian, maybe you could assist me to translate the install
questions into your own language and improve the installation package. Let me
know if you'd like me to send the text for translation.
I can understand why you might want the revised 2780 (and indeed every other
"needs admin review" part) to have gone into this update. However there needed
to be a cut-off somewhere between me working on admin certifying the backlog and
getting the already certified parts packaged into a release. I took the
unilateral decision that users would prefer some evidence that the update
mechanism is back on track, rather than wait another month or more, and I hope
you can support this decision. As I said before, I will now work on these parts
with the aim of another update in a two or three month timeframe.
