I'm sorry, but the bug reported in #301806 is not related to the bug
I've reported. #301806 tells something about the architecture specific
part of the plugin-path. But now postinst script completely misses the
right path. I'm sorry, if I missed the fact, that this new bug is
already fixed. But this bug is not mentioned in the BTS.

JFTP: I disagree. Crashing all browser Java plugins is IMHO an important
bug, because this renders Java in browsers unusable.
