@Joel: if this is the case, then there is a lot less to talk about. I'm sorry, I only had packages from PPA to play with, which, as I remember now, do not have Software Updates (not even classic) enabled. Maybe we should re-iterate which plugin installation problems we still have? I've only seen two, the ones I've described, if they work as described, there is actually no issue?
