[MASTER] flashplugin-nonfree installation does not work on jaunty

[Ramon Casha]

The flashplugin-nonfree package does not install the plugin itself (though the deb is marked as installed). Attempting it again from apt-get gives the following:

sudo apt-get install --reinstall flashplugin-nonfree

A quick note that this bug does have a work around as mentioned in duplicate bug #351277, basically you need to remove and then install the plugin rather than using a reinstall. Should install properly then.

[Alexander Sack (asac)]

the whole debconf/postinst needs a clean rewrite. contributions welcome.

unload swfdec and than re install flashplugin-installer. Should solve the problem.

This looks like a duplicate of bug #326609. Can anyone confirm that is it or isn't a duplicate

Sorry forgot to add:
Is this still reproducible?
