After emerge'ing the latest KDE-3.1 builds, followed by 'emerge net-www/netscape-flash', the flash plugin was installed into /usr/lib/nsbrowser/plugins. However, the konqueror build was not configured to scan this directory as one of the possible locations for netscape-style plugins. When konqueror is configured to do so, it will then be able to use all installed netscape plugins, including flash. However, I have no idea how to configure konqueror to check this directory at build time. Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: See details above, and screenshot below.

Here, netscape-flash-6.0.69-r2 installs into /opt/netscape/plugins, which _is_ in konqueror's default scan path. The /opt/netscape/plugins path is hardcoded in the netscape-flash ebuild, so I don't see how it could end up somewhere else for you... However, I have symlinks in /usr/lib/nsbrowser/plugins to the files in /opt/netscape/plugins. The wierd thing is, no package owns those symlinks, and I certainly didn't create them myself. I don't know just what is going on wrt that, but what version/revisions of netscape-flash do you have, and how does it manage to install in the wrong place? :-)
The installed version of flash is Shockwave Flash 6.0 r69, and I just now noticed the symlinks. (i.e. I am an idiot). The plugin version is 'net-www/netscape-flash-6.0.69-r2' It is funny that qpkg reports that those symlinks have no package owner, though. In either case, this is not a bug. sorry to waste your time. -jason
Ok, closing this as INVALID
