flash-plugin

[Stephen Isard]

Hello,

flash-plugin.i386 requires libcurl.i686 in order to display flash, but
libcurl is not listed as a dependency of the flash-plugin package.

I am running a 32 bit firefox browser on 64 bit Scientific Linux 6.4.
Without 32 bit libcurl, flash just gave a blank screen with a "movie not
loaded" message.

Regards,

Stephen Isard

The reason it is missing is because flash-plugin uses dlopen for libcurl
during run-time, rather than simply linking to it at compile-time. And
since it's a binary blob we have no control over this.

I fixed it in the SPEC file, so it will be fixed in the next release.
