Hmm, not sure which action needs to be taken by gnash developers, if any.

I mainly built that rpm because gnash was causing our mozilla-based
browser to crash, due to #23698 and also because we wanted to update
to 0.8.3. I backported the changes we had made to the rpm for OLPC-2
(based on F-7) but probably that wasn't needed.

If gnash 0.8.3 (plus the fix for #23698) gets built for F-9, we could
try to use that and see if it brings in any unneeded dependencies.
