[Bug 235946] [NEW] No Appropriate Viewer Error in Hardy 64

[stephenb]

Public bug reported:

Binary package hint: nspluginwrapper

I had flash working in Feisty. But after upgrading to Hardy, I cannot
install it because of this:

Flash Plugin installed.
nspluginwrapper: no appropriate viewer found for /usr/lib/flashplugin-nonfree/libflashplayer.so
dpkg: error processing flashplugin-nonfree (--configure):
subprocess post-installation script returned error exit status 1
Errors were encountered while processing:
flashplugin-nonfree
E: Sub-process /usr/bin/dpkg returned an error code (1)

I have tried downgrading to ia32-libs 2.1 to no affect. I have tried the
last deb of nspluginwrapper (0.9.91.6_amd64) to no affect.

Please note that I copied /usr/lib/flashplugin-nonfree/libflashplayer.so
to  /usr/lib/firefox-addons/plugins/libflashplayer.so

Then I ran this: 
sudo nspluginwrapper -i /usr/lib/firefox-addons/plugins/libflashplayer.so

But I got the same error:
nspluginwrapper: no appropriate viewer found for /usr/lib/firefox-addons/plugins/libflashplayer.so

I hadn't ever seen this error until I upgraded to Hardy. Now that I look
around, it seems that people were getting it in Gutsy, so it's nothing
new. And yet it's still around and it's turned up in Hardy.
