Re: nspluginwrapper and Debian unstable

["Max A." <maxale@gmail.com>]

Todd,

I have debian-i386 installed in chroot and nspluginwrapper seems to
work without obvious errors. In particular, I see it in Seamonkey's
about:plugins page as

===cut===
Netscape 4 Plugins Wrapper

   File name: npwrapper.so
   nspluginwrapper 0.9.90.1 adds support for i386 compiled Netscape 4 plugins.
   This is beta software available under the terms of the GNU General
Public License.

MIME Type 	Description 	Suffixes 	Enabled
unknown/mime-type 	Do not open 	none 	Yes
===cut===

But that is useless anyway. For example, I've wrapped flashplugin but
Seamonkey does not see it. And no error of any kind is reported. So I
have no idea what's wrong.
