Title:
[karmic upgrade] flashplugin-installer creates bad symlink (amd64)
Status in “flashplugin-nonfree” package in Ubuntu:
Expired
Bug description:
Binary package hint: flashplugin-installer
I just upgraded from jaunty to karmic by running 'update-manager -d'.
Observed behavior: the non-free Adobe flash plugin disappeared from my
firefox. 'apt-get install --reinstall flashplugin-installer' seemed to
complete without error, but my firefox still had no idea about the
existence of any flash plugin -- it didn't show up on about:plugins,
etc.
Underlying cause:
Looking in /usr/share/ubufox/plugins, there is a symlink
npwrapper.libflashplayer.so ->
/usr/lib/flashplugin-installer/npwrapper.libflashplayer.so
However, /usr/lib/flashplugin-installer/npwrapper.libflashplayer.so does not
exist. The installer seems to have placed that file in
/var/lib/flashplugin-installer instead. (I.e., the symlink should point to
/var/..., not /usr/...)
Running 'cd /usr/share/ubufox/plugins && sudo ln -sf /var/lib
/flashplugin-installer/npwrapper.libflashplayer.so .' seems to fix the
problem, which is useful as a workaround, and as confirmation that the
symlink is, indeed, the problem.
Please fix, kthx.
This is on x86-64.
