Description of problem: Suddenly my security plugin for Firefox did not work anymore. I tracked it to an automatic update of flash browser plugin; Updating flash-player-plugin makes libplugins.so loose the wrapper! # nspluginwrapper -l listed nothing, so i "rewrapped" it again like when i installed it: # nspluginwrapper -i /usr/local/lib/personal/libplugins.so And it is working again. The plugin is for BankID, see my HOWTO referenced below I posted the problem in forum https://forums.mageia.org/en/viewtopic.php?f=7&t=4386 and doktor5000 replied: Probably a bug with nspluginwrapper, or specifically with one of the filetriggers /var/lib/rpm/filetriggers/nspluginwrapper.* Version-Release number: 1.4.4-1.mga2 How reproducible: Confirmed on another computer with same setup. Steps to Reproduce: 1. Have elder version flash-player-plugin installed 2. # nspluginwrapper -i /usr/local/lib/personal/libplugins.so I have only tried that plugin, see my HOWTO on Nexus BankID https://forums.mageia.org/en/viewtopic.php?f=41&t=4384 Verify it installed: # nspluginwrapper -l 3. update flash-player-plugin I now have version: 11.2.202.262-1.mga2.nonfree 4) See the plugin is gone by using: # nspluginwrapper -l
Posted also upstream: https://github.com/davidben/nspluginwrapper/issues/47 (is that the correct place? not much activity)

Got quick replies from upstream, see there. So what is happening when the flash plugin get updated? It should not touch ndiswrapper, right? So the error is in the flash plugin package? Or something that get triggered by it.

Added anssi as he is on flash-player-plugin
Sorry, in #2 i meant it should not touch *nspluginwrapper* (not ndiswrapper)
Yep, broke again today by update of flas-player-plugin to 11.2.202.270-1.mga2.nonfree.
Seems it happen also if only firefox get updated.
Scrap comment 6; only firefox update = no problem. flash-player-plugin update --> i need to run nspluginwrapper -i theplugin (mga2-64 updates i installed today.)
Why do you need nspluginwrapper at all?

It is essential for important applications that vendors fail to support correctly, such as BankID - the most important identity app used in Sweden, see https://forums.mageia.org/en/viewtopic.php?f=41&t=4384
