[Bug 133197] Re: mozilla-plugin-gnash is broken

[kripkenstein]

I am experiencing what appears to be this bug on an updated Hardy.

I thought I'd give Gnash a shot, so I installed it. But Firefox (3)
doesn't utilize it, it doesn't appear in the list of plugins, nor does
it play content. I tried installing Gnash through Firefox's Ubuntu
plugin, through Synaptic, and after removing the nonfree Flash plugin.
No luck. Even after its installed I get asked to install plugins when I
am on a page with Flash, as if Gnash isn't installed.

Looking at /usr/lib/mozilla/plugins/, it seems I have

flashplugin-alternative.so -> /etc/alternatives/mozilla-flashplugin

the latter file which then links

/etc/alternatives/mozilla-flashplugin ->
/usr/lib/gnash/libgnashplugin.so

and the last file here exists. Yet, the Gnash plugin does not work, as I
said above, from Firefox's point of view it is not installed.
