------- Additional Comments From [EMAIL PROTECTED] 2003-03-09 20:06 ------- I did an install last night (no FlashPlayer involved) and here's what I get: [EMAIL PROTECTED] drakx]# cd /mnt/disk/usr/lib/netscape/plugins [EMAIL PROTECTED] plugins]# ls -l total 0 lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 49 Sep 3 02:43 mozplugger.so -> ../../../../usr/lib/mozilla/plugins/mozplugger.so* [EMAIL PROTECTED] plugins]# cd /mnt/disk/usr/lib/mozilla/plugins [EMAIL PROTECTED] plugins]# ls -l total 24 -rwxr-xr-x 1 root root 22192 Sep 2 04:01 mozplugger.so* [EMAIL PROTECTED] plugins]# cd ../../mozilla-1.4/plugins [EMAIL PROTECTED] plugins]# ls -l total 20 lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 45 Sep 3 03:05 libjavaplugin_oji.so -> /opt/IBMJava2-14/jre/bin/libjavaplugin_oji.so* -rwxr-xr-x 1 root root 20240 Sep 2 04:41 libnullplugin.so* [EMAIL PROTECTED] plugins]# So, on a vanilla MDK Install (not counting the IBM JDK package), there is no link from either of the mozilla directories to /usr/lib/netscape/plugins. I think all Flash is doing is dropping its plugin into /usr/lib/netscape/plugins. The problem here isn't whether mozilla-1.4 is correctly migrating symlinks. The problem is that even if it creates a symlink for anything it finds in /usr/lib/netscape/plugins at the time mozilla installs, that won't help if you come along and install something else which drops a plugin into /usr/lib/netscape/plugins. If MDK is going to standardize on Mozilla, then /usr/lib/netscape ought to become a symlink to /usr/lib/mozilla. -- Configure bugmail: http://qa.mandrakesoft.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug, or are watching someone who is. ------- Reminder: ------- assigned_to: [EMAIL PROTECTED] status: NEEDINFO creation_date: description: I noticed today that the FlashPlayer 6.0 plugin (from Commercial) was not showing up in the "About Plugins" list. When I checked, I found that the Flash RPM installs into /usr/lib/netscape/plugins rather than /usr/lib/mozilla*. Once I created links from /usr/lib/netscape/plugins to /usr/lib/mozilla-1.4/plugins, it worked fine. I don't think this used to be the case. When I first built this system (around the beginning of the month), I remember installing Flash and seeing it work immediately.
