[Bug 286204] Re: flashplugin-nonfree fails to install on amd64

[librun.so]

I was able to get flashplugin-nonfree working.

First I purged both flashplugin-nonfree and nspluginwrapper as suggested
by Klilz on ubuntuforums.org:

sudo apt-get -y purge nspluginwrapper
sudo apt-get -y purge mozilla-plugin-gnash
sudo apt-get -y purge swfdec-mozilla
sudo apt-get -y purge flashplugin-nonfree
sudo rm -rfd /usr/lib/nspluginwrapper
sudo rm -f /usr/lib/firefox-addons/plugins/libflashplayer.so
sudo rm -f /usr/lib/mozilla/plugins/flashplugin-alternative.so

Next I executed the following commands:

sudo su -
apt-get install nspluginwrapper flashplugin-nonfree lib32bz2-dev
cd /usr/lib/nspluginwrapper/i386/linux
ln -s /usr/lib32/libnss3.so libnss3.so
ln -s /usr/lib32/libplc4.so libplc4.so
ln -s /usr/lib32/libplds4.so libplds4.so
ln -s /usr/lib32/libsmime3.so libsmime3.so
ln -s /usr/lib32/libssl3.so libssl3.so
ln -s /usr/lib32/nss/libsoftokn3.so libsoftokn3.so
nspluginwrapper -i /usr/lib/mozilla/plugins/libflashplayer.so
exit

Upon restarting Firefox, the Flash plug-in worked.

I found this solution in a Debian bug report:

http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=500710#20

So thanks to Julien Valroff and other Debian users.
