Yes, it works here too, Erik. In Hrvoje's example I get...
'File is not readable: /etc/shadow'
(package-get-package-provider 'ffap)
=> (xemacs-base "1.65")
We had the following changes to ffap.el recently...
,----
| 2002-01-28 David A. Panariti <panariti(a)mediaone.net>
|
| * ffap.el (ffap-url-regexp):
| Changed http to https? to allow https urls to be recognized.

| 2001-03-14 Dr. Volker Zell <Dr.Volker.Zell(a)oracle.com>
|
| * ffap.el (ffap-menu-ask): Add test for ffap-xemacs to fix a
| 'Wrong type argument: eventp t' error.

...but I can't see either of those being a "solution" to what you've
reported. Incidently, those were the _only_ changes that have been
made to ffap.el since it was added to the packages in 1998.
On the face of it, it looks like either you are using a version of
ffap.el that wasn't shipped by us, or your problem is related to
something else.
