Package: flashplugin-nonfree
Version: 1:2.8.2
Severity: minor
Tags: patch
On my system, there is two users which share uid 0: root-atto and root.
The patch provided replace the whoami = root by "id -u" = 0 which is
maybe more general (relying on numeric id is probably more secure).
This is a totally optional patch -- my situation is not common.
Regards
Sylvain Le Gall
