I looked for occurrences of *flash* on my system, and this is what I
found (sorry for the quantity)....

I tried the suggestion from Florian to:

dpkg -L flashplugin-nonfree | grep libflashplayer.so .....but it
returned nothing. Maybe I misunderstood??

Anybody see any hints in the list of files above?

Thanks all
Dave W.
