 it's a several level nested library dep. and that's the reason it's not
 showing ... but my slack installations  install all the >suggested 
packages in the "l" section just to avoid this sort of problem.

Since I could not get any responce from firefox i tryed strace ... so here is a grep of flash form the putput of strace:

lstat64("/usr/lib/firefox-13.0.1/plugins/libflashplayer.so", {st_mode=S_IFLNK|0777, st_size=31, ...}) = 0
readlink("/usr/lib/firefox-13.0.1/plugins/libflashplayer.so", "../../plugins/libflashplayer.so"..., 4095) = 31
lstat64("/usr/lib/plugins/libflashplayer.so", {st_mode=S_IFREG|0755, st_size=8016428, ...}) = 0
stat64("/usr/lib/plugins/libflashplayer.so", {st_mode=S_IFREG|0755, st_size=8016428, ...}) = 0that does not look bad to me ... but maybe I'm mistaken ?

Now here's a grep of opens that return -1 :

/lib/libcanberra.so.0
/usr/lib/libcanberra.so.0
/lib/libcanberra.so.0

I did a 3 leven ldd search for libraries neaded by flash and I did not spot any 
"not found" ... so I've no clue as to what's going wrong.
Anyone know if these are required for flash ?

David
