[Bug 766130] Re: can no longer play youtube videos

[Rolf Leggewie]

Rohit, thank you for having a look.  I don't recall any issue during the
upgrade.  To test, I reinstalled the package and found some interesting
results (output is from the etckeeper package which tracks changes to
/etc for me).

$ sudo aptitude reinstall flashplugin-installer

It looks like the plugin was not registered with the alternatives system
the first time around.  Here's the git log.

    -flashplugin-installer 10.2.153.1ubuntu0.10.04.1
    -flashplugin-nonfree 10.2.153.1ubuntu0.10.04.1

    +flashplugin-nonfree 10.2.159.1ubuntu0.10.04.1

looking more closely into the commits,
de3b3f82cb77eb38a0417da42431b1a4f6faf323 only deletes the files, no
other changes.

I hope this gives enough information for the package maintainer to
understand where the postinst or other scripts fail.
