package nspluginwrapper 1.2.2-0ubuntu5 failed to install/upgrade: (segmentation fault)

[bob marshall]

Binary package hint: nspluginwrapper

Setting up nspluginwrapper causes a segmentation fault when Looking for plugins in /usr/lib/firefox/plugins (after the Auto-update plugins from /usr/lib/firefox/plugins seems to succeed.)
Recover processing repeats the sequence with the same error. As a result, errors are reported processing nspluginwrapper, flashplugin-installer, and flashplugin-nonfree.

Following is copy of output from Synaptic after installing a single package AFTER the errors in nswrapper, flashplugin-install and flashplugin-nonfree:

Thanks for your report.

If it's still an issue, can you reproduce this crash by running sudo nspluginwrapper -u -v -a ?
Thanks
