This bug was fixed in the package gnash - 0.8.10~git20111001-1ubuntu1

---------------
gnash (0.8.10~git20111001-1ubuntu1) precise; urgency=low

  * Merge from Debian testing. Remaining changes:
    - Use mozilla-flashplugin as the alternative for now
    - Set alternative priority to 50 so that it matches Adobe Flash's priority
    - Change xulrunner-dev build dep to firefox-dev
  * debian/patches/fix_plugin_api.patch:
    - Update gnash to work with Firefox 8+ API (LP: #897527)

gnash (0.8.10~git20111001-1) unstable; urgency=low

  * Git snapshot.
