can't play Flash anymore
I'm quite perplexed. I have two Etch machines, and on each of them, Flash
recently stopped working. It worked on both within the past month.
I have these packages installed:
flashplayer-mozilla 9.0.48.0-0.2 Macromedia Flash Player
libflash-mozplugin 0.4.13-8 GPL Flash (SWF) Library - Mozilla-compatible plugin
libflash0c2 0.4.13-8 GPL Flash (SWF) Library - shared library
and these files:
-rw-r--r-- 1 root root 856 2007-06-19 20:31 /usr/lib/mozilla/plugins/flashplayer.xpt
-rw-r--r-- 1 root root 15348 2006-07-25 10:22 /usr/lib/mozilla/plugins/libflash-mozplugin.so
-rw-r--r-- 1 root root 7029820 2007-08-31 07:10 /usr/lib/mozilla/plugins/libflashplayer.so
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 37 2007-09-01 09:55 /usr/lib/iceweasel/plugins/flashplayer.xpt -> ../../mozilla/plugins/flashplayer.xpt
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 46 2007-03-16 17:04 /usr/lib/iceweasel/plugins/libflash-mozplugin.so -> /usr/lib/mozilla/plugins/libflash-mozplugin.so
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 39 2007-09-01 09:55 /usr/lib/iceweasel/plugins/libflashplayer.so -> ../../mozilla/plugins/libflashplayer.so
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 18 2007-01-21 09:33 /usr/lib/libflash.so.0 -> libflash.so.0.13.0
-rw-r--r-- 1 root root 199996 2006-07-25 10:22 /usr/lib/libflash.so.0.13.0
If I do "about:plugins" from iceweasel, I see
File name: libflash-mozplugin.so
Flash Movie player Version 0.4.12 compatible with Shockwave Flash 4.0
File name: libflashplayer.so
Shockwave Flash 9.0 r48
But if I try to run any Flash movie, I get sent to Adobe to download the
"newest" Flash. This turns out to be 9.0.48.0, which I already have. For
the heck of it, I unpacked that anyway. flashplayer.xpt was identical to
what I already have. libflashplayer.so was not, but installing that didn't
help.
As tests, I've been trying anything at youtube or at the Flash showcase:

Youtube videos all seem to fail, and then iceweasel crashes too. Any ideas
what's gone wrong? Thanks.
