Details

Description:
Using the newly released 64 bit Flash Plugin from Adobe causes
immediate crashes, regardless of what application is used
(firefox, xulrunner, opera).

The plugin needs the curl libraries, but they're not listed
as dependencies. Once curl is installed, the plugin works fine.
Note that the AUR pkg "flashplugin-alpha-64" had curl listed
as prerequisite.

Additional info:
* package version(s)
- testing/flashplugin 10.0.d20.7-3
- curl 7.19.2-1 (prior versions not tested)


Steps to reproduce:
* pacman -R curl
* pacman -S flashplugin

firefox, conkeror likely to crash

* pacman -S curl

works fine

"strings /usr/lib/mozilla/plugins/libflashplayer.so |grep -i curl" ->
libcurl-gnutls.so.4
libcurl.so.3
libcurl-gnutls.so.3
curl_global_init
curl_global_cleanup
curl_easy_init
curl_easy_setopt
curl_easy_cleanup
curl_easy_perform
curl_slist_append
curl_slist_free_all
curl_formadd
curl_easy_getinfo

"ldd /usr/lib/mozilla/plugins/libflashplayer.so | grep -i curl" -> no result
