Well that's interesting. Where the hell is
/opt/netscape/plugins/libflashplayer.so coming from??

/opt/netscape/plugins/libflashplayer.so


So the facts:

1. /usr/local/lib/opera/plugins/ is empty.

2. ~/.opera/flash115/ contains libflashplayer.so (i.e. not a soft link)

3. libflashplayer.so is also in the /opt/netscape/plugins/ directory

4. I don't want Opera to use the libflashplayer.so in the
   /opt/netscape/plugins/ directory since that directory contains the
   word 'netscape'

5. /opt/netscape/plugins is not listed as a directory to search for
   plugins.

Conclusion:

The   debug  output   is  flat   out  erroneous   --  and   should  be
fixed/corrected.
