Yesterday I started to finish configuring some things that were left
behind on my new laptop (amd64), and bumpped up with flash support for
firefox.
The thing is that swfdec didn't work, and gnash neither.
Solution: remove nspluginwrapper.
So I wanted to ask before opening a bug report: shouldn't there be a
dependency on all 3 packages (don't know about others) so that you can
only have one of the 3 packages (al least the plugins:
nspluginwrapper, swfdec-mozilla, gnash-plugin) installed?

nspluginwrapper has meachanism to id items not to wrap
(see /etc/sysconfig/nspluginwrapper), which is likely the better short-term
fix here. Long term, investigate the buggy interaction between those and
nspluginwrapper.

What should I look for there?
Just installed again nspluginwrapper and flash is gone.
/etc/sysconfig/nspluginwrapper has this:
export
IGNORE_WRAP="libtotem*:libjavaplugin*:gecko-mediaplayer*:mplayerplug-in*:librhythmbox*"
export IGNORE_LINK=""
What next?

nspluginwrapper doesn't actually provide any media handling, so it's
not something that really can be 'Required' on the same level.
Furthermore, given that you'd want nspluginwrapper for other things
while simultaneously using swfdec, or gnash, or whatever else, you
really want to get to the bottom of why it doesn't work with them,
and fix it.

I don't know about nspluginwrapper, but swfdec and gnash should cohabit.
Only one will be active in the browser, but I don't think that a
Conflict is useful, nor warranted between gnash and swfdec.
I'll try to have a look at what happens with nspluginwrapper.

I have just tested, on rawhide, that when gnash and nspluginwrapper are
installed, gnash is used.

well there is no reason for it not to work when nspluginwrapper is
installed because its the only flash plugin you have (nspluginwrapper
is not a flash plugin), everything else would be a bug.
