In the end the bug turned out to be a update-alternatives bug (well at least imo its a bug). If you run update-alternative --remove alternative-name for the last installed alternatives, the alternative doesn't get removed. Even worse, it is switched to manual mode, which causes the pain we see here.
flashplugin-nonfree already ships a fix for this: when last alternative is removed, it runs --remove-all as well, which removes the alternative completely. Same will be in next gnash upload and should fix the isse for all except those that are already locked in this "no-alternative-selected-in- manual" situation :)... no idea for them atm. -- mozilla-plugin-gnash is broken https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/133197 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is the bug contact for Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
