Well actually I got these package installed since dapper, I found on the
www.ubuntu-fr.org wiki how to install nspluginwrapper when it was not in
Ubuntu's repositories.

I pretty well know that acrobat plugin is not supported by Ubuntu, but
the use I make of nspluginwrapper, is to use 32 bit plugins designed for
mozilla compatible browser (I think it is actually netscape based
browsers) on my 64 bit firefox.

The package I had before was made with alien and the official (i.e. from
the official nspluginwrapper site) rpm package.

The version of nspluginwapper I had istalled was 0.9.91.4-2. It used to
run perfectly some proprietary plugins such as acroread and flash.

Then the version of nsplugin wrapper that is in the gutsy repository
seems to be unable to work with the acrobat plugin.

The acrobat plugin I am using is the one from Adobe, which is a
proprietary plugin shipped with Acrobat Reader 7.0

I think it would be a good idea to have a version of nspluginwrapper
that is able to wrapp adobe's acrobat and flash plugins, since these
plugins belong to the little annoying restrictions of 64 bit linux
installation.

I tried removing my old version and installing the official one, and
then I can just say that the Gutsy version of nspluginwrapper is unable
to use the acrobat plugin on my computer.

I may do further investigation before posting a new bug cincerning that
issue (since nspluginwrapper is able to handle the acrobat plugin)

Best regards
