I do agree, so I filed a bug on the gnome meta-package in order to complain about such a dependency.

If you look at the Tools/Extensions (I guess it's named like that in english) menu of Firefox, then the plugins tab, you may deactivate individual plugins. The only problem is that swfdec-mozilla doesn't identify as such there, but instead as : Shockwave Flash Shockwave Flash 9.0 r100 However, if you check in about:plugins URL, you'll see that this is provided by libswfdecmozilla.so. So I guess just disabling that plugin, and keeping anotherone installed should solve the problem. Anyway, I guess this should be documented somehow in the package's README.Debian or whatever. Hope this helps. Best regards, -- Olivier BERGER (OpenPGP: 1024D/B4C5F37F) http://www.olivierberger.com/weblog/ -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble?
