But that still means that I can't play Flashplayer!! As I mentioned earlier, I think that the time has come to concentrate on getting my main machine up and running with Squeeze.

Thanks for the reply. Konqueror claims that it is Shockwave Flash 7.0. I thought the question was what deb package brings in the file 'libklashpart.so' so that you could get rid of it, as per your original article. I'm afraid that you have lost me. I am trying to get rid of it, as you say, (I have already purged it), not install it. I am trying to find any remaining files in order to rm them, in the apparently vain hope that Flashplayer will actually play!! And Konqueror says that the file is libklashpart.so, and that it plays Shockwave Flash 7. I've suddenly clicked. You are suggesting that I search for that package not flashplugin. And there are indeed quite a few files still on the HDD, though the package itself is not there. Thanks, Curt. I'm about to go away. I'll get straight onto this when I get back.

We remove (and purge, eventually) the incriminated package itself. If you have more than one flashplayer installed on your machine (gnash + flashplugin-nonfree?) then you might have to play with update-alternatives in order for Konqueror to choose the latter rather than the former.

I'm saying that konqueror-plugin-gnash provides libklashpart.so. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-user-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of unsubscribe. Trouble?

I already have. I have removed - purged - all the packages to do with Gnash or Falshplayer 7 that were ever installed. Nothing is installed. But there are some residual files. Removing them is something I can try. What else can I do? There are no relevant packages on my machine.

So you purged all packages that have anything to do with flash but there are residual files? What are they and where are they and why don't you remove them if they truly exist? Doesn't seem normal to me. Apparently, Konqueror is lying to you. I don't believe in mystery files. ;-) Maybe I should. If you have more than one flashplayer installed on your machine (gnash + flashplugin-nonfree?) then you might have to play with I haven't. We are obviously crossing wires badly that you have the impression that I have. Yeah, forget it. I read this from you : I am trying to find any remaining files in order to rm them, in the apparently vain hope that Flashplayer will actually play!! And Konqueror says that the file is libklashpart.so, and that it plays Shockwave Flash 7. and thought that meant you wanted to play flash with a plugin other than gnash, which for me could only mean the nonfree baby, but forget it because I don't understand any of it and won't be doing so any time soon. Sorry for the noise. I'm outta here. update-alternatives in order for Konqueror to choose the latter rather than the former.
