Do you have the packaged version of Flash installed? What does this show?:

dpkg -l |grep -i flash |awk '{print $2}'

I would try removing any packaged version of flash (flashplugin-nonfree), and
install the per-user version from Adobe (ie. install as a regular user), and
see if that works.

Just download the tar.gz, extract, cd in and run the installer. Always works
for me.

Not sure about that one.

flashplayer-mozilla
kwordquiz
libswfdec-0.6-90
swfdec-mozilla

I believe I installed the last one in an effort to solve the problem, it
wasn't installed automatically by the Lenny installation. The lib is
probably a dependency.

There is no flashplugin-nonfree. The only thing similar that aptitude
reports is flashplugin-nonfree-extrasound, that I have not installed so I
don't add yet another variable to the problem. Keep in mind that iceweasel
reports flash 9 r100, so I does not appear that something is missing. My
sources.list has this:

deb http://ftp.us.debian.org/debian/ lenny main contrib non-free
deb-src http://ftp.us.debian.org/debian/ lenny main contrib non-free
deb http://security.debian.org/ lenny/updates main contrib non-free
deb-src http://security.debian.org/ lenny/updates main contrib non-free
deb http://www.debian-multimedia.org lenny main

I would like to keep the install as standard as possible, but if there's no
choice I'll do that. Still I would like to understand why it doesn't work.
If it's something specific to my installation, it would be helpful to know,
if it's a problem with the installation (ie: everyone else has the same
problem), it would be useful to know too so I can do something (file a bug
report?).

Thanks for replying.

It looks like flashplugin-nonfree (which is from the main debian archive,
flashplayer-mozilla is from debian-multimedia) is only in sid.

I would remove both swfdec packages, and then purge and reinstall
flashplayer-mozilla, and check that the correct symlinks are created
in e.g. [iceape dir]/plugins

Ok, did that.

It seems that reinstalling flashplayer-mozilla did the trick. Thanks!
