[Bug 683557] Re: nspluginwrapper: double free or corruption (out): 0x000000000087de10

[Prateek Karandikar]

I'm having the same problem on Kubuntu 11.10 64-bit, after upgrading
from 11.04. People here are saying they deleted *all* their Firefox
plugins - does one really need to delete plugins which have nothing to
do with flash? Also, as far as I know flashplugin-installer downloads
the actual flash plugin during installation. Is there any way to force
it to redownload? I have purged and reinstalled flashplugin-installer
and nspluginwrapper several times, but it never seems to download the
plugin while installing.

I deleted /usr/lib/mozilla/plugins/flashplugin-alternative.so too, which
is just a symbolic link to /etc/alternatives/mozilla-flashplugin. When
flashplugin-installer and nspluginviewer are installed,
/etc/alternatives/mozilla-flashplugin points to /var/lib/flashplugin-
installer/npwrapper.libflashplayer.so, and otherwise it points to
/usr/lib/flashplugin-installer/libflashplayer.so. This last file stays
even if I purge all relevant packages and deleting it only screws things
up when I try to install flashplugin-installer and nspluginviewer again.

So how is one supposed to get flash working?
