Easiest way to test this, if you're running Mahara from git, is to use
"git checkout" to pull out a copy of the contactinfo block, and remove
it once you're ready.

1. Install Mahara (from git)
2. Grab the code for the contactinfo blocktype: git checkout b5c9e316329eca254841783acbd0b7a5177d0349~ -- htdocs/artefact/internal/blocktype/contactinfo
3. Go to Administration -> Extensions and tell Mahara to install the "new" contactinfo blocktype.
4. Put a contact info block into a page. Set the page to copyable.
5. Remove the blocktype's code by doing: git stash
6. Try to copy the page.

Title:
  Need to fix copy page/collection where the original page has obsolete
  blocks

Status in Mahara:
  Fix Committed

Bug description:
  If a user has a page / collection that contains blocks for blocktype
  plugins that don't exist on the server anymore it causes the copying
  to fail as certain functions can't be found during the copying
  process.

  There needs to be a step where the copy process either:

  1) Not copy any plugin blocks where the plugin is not active, or

  2) Check to see if the version.php file still exists for the plugin
  first and not copy any blocks where it doesn't, or

  3) Have the table column that keeps track of the 'active' status of
  blocktype plugins to also have the option of '-1'  to indicate not
  active and also files missing (this info could also be displayed on
  the Admin -> Extensions screen as well) so that the copy process
  ignores blocks with active status = -1
