pepperflashplugin-nonfree is broken since Google stopped shipping Flash with Chrome 54 for Linux and it is unclear if it will ever be fixed (see bug #1632870). browser-plugin-freshplayer-pepperflash could recommend adobe-flashplugin instead of pepperflashplugin-nonfree.
Still there is a problem with this approach because Firefox would see two NPAPI plugins: the official plugin from Adobe and Freshplayerplugin. There is no reliable way of ruling out the official plugin from Adobe in Firefox; disabling one from the plugin settings also disables the other. One approach would be to split adobe-flashplugin in two packages, I have no idea if this is likely to happen. Another approach is proposed here and could be implemented in browser-plugin-freshplayer-pepperflash: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/pepperflashplugin- nonfree/+bug/1632870/comments/9 -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Canonical Partner Developers, which is subscribed to the bug report. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1544409 Title: Flash plugin from pepperflashplugin-nonfree is installed as a Recommends of browser-plugin-freshplayer-pepperflash (source: freshplayerplugin) even if it is already installed from another package To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/adobe-flashplugin/+bug/1544409/+subscriptions _______________________________________________ Mailing list: https://launchpad.net/~canonical-partner-dev Post to : canonical-partner-dev@lists.launchpad.net Unsubscribe : https://launchpad.net/~canonical-partner-dev More help : https://help.launchpad.net/ListHelp
