Package: flashplugin-nonfree Version: 7.0.25-5 Severity: grave Justification: renders package unusable
Since the upstream download location no longer exists, this package requires the user to download the Flash installer by hand and feed it into update-flashplugin. This is suggested in bug no. 339290 However update-flashplugin doesn't seem to understand the current .tar.gz, it claims it doesn't contain files which are in fact in the tarball: ---------------------------snips--------------------------- nickl:~# wget -N http://fpdownload.macromedia.com/get/flashplayer/current/install_flash_player_7_linux.tar.gz nickl:~# ls -l install_flash_player_7_linux.tar.gz -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 989217 2005-11-10 17:31 install_flash_player_7_linux.tar.gz nickl:~# update-flashplugin -f .
