Thanks for the tip.  I installed this lib, then did an urpmi of the Flash6 
rpm.  Got the removed old flash plugin message, then installed successfully 
message.  Opened Mozilla and went to a flash site--Flash6 works!  I don't 
know if it was just luck, or if that lib was really the fix for my problem.  
If that lib was needed, why didn't the pkg manager catch it has a dependency?  
Oh, well--it worked, and I've filed this for future ref.
