See below for evidence. Observations: - flashplugin-installer fails to configure because nspluginwrapper won't install it.
- nspluginwrapper won't install it because some of the 32-bit libraries it requiress (e.g. libssl3.so) are missing - my nspluginwrapper is out of date (1.4.2) because 1.4.4 will not install, because it depends on nspluginviewer 1.4.4, which is missing from the repository. I'm not sure if this would have made a difference. >Bela< ======================================================================== # dpkg --configure flashplugin-installer Setting up flashplugin-installer (10.3.183.4ubuntu3) ...
