Package: chromium Version: 12.0.742.112~r90304-1 Followup-For: Bug #620154
Hi, I ran into this today, and found the following: Chromium complains that Flash is out of date; when I press the "Update plug-in..." button, it takes me to an Adobe page (http://get.adobe.com/flashplayer/?no_redirect) that tells me the last Flash version is 10.3.181.34; when I "Run this time" and right-click the element, I get an option "about Adobe Flash Player 10.3.181.34". First thought: Chromium is deeply broken about this. However, if I actually click the "about..." option, I get a different Adobe page: http://www.adobe.com/software/flash/about/ This page claims that the last Flash version for Linux with Mozilla based-browsers is indeed 10.3.181.34, but for Linux/Chrome it is 10.3.181.36. So the root of the problem appears to be that between Adobe making different versions for different browsers, and Chromium insisting that the latest available version be used, they broke the assumption (which is widespread across Linux distros) that one Flash installation can be used for the entire system. I'm not sure what to make of this, or even which package should own the bug.
