[Bug 367448] [NEW] gcu-pluging prevents nspluginwrapper and flash install on jaunty 9.04

[jamesh]

Public bug reported:

Many people are seeing problems with the flash plugin when upgrading
from Intrepid to Jaunty.  Some of these are due to "nspluginwrapper -a
-v -u" being run during the install, which scans for plugins to wrap in
nspluginwrapper.

It seems that the gcu-plugin causes nspluginwrapper to segfault (error
139).   This has a bug report in nspluginwrapper (bug# 363799), but you
might want to mark gcu-plugin and  nspluginwrapper as conflicting or
check to make sure if this can be corrected in the gcu-plugin package.

The comments describing this problem and the solution of un-installing gcu-plugin

The gcu-plugin is a cool package, but most people probably need flash
(youtube, ect.) to work more than they want gcu-plugin.

Thanks!
