Given vulnerabilities, it's sort of security bump, too. I started to describe the problem on http://forums.gentoo.org/viewtopic-t-918560.html, but there are no real hints about what's going wrong and in th end it's most likely something only Adobe can fix.

Also, while the forum thread has seen very little input from other parties, it seems that the "not working" part affects only x86 (though it's still hard to say whether the problem lies in CPU or GPU).

(See bug #268336) Looks like in this case the issue is that 11.2 is now being compiled using SSE2 instructions, making the binary completely useless for anyone not running a CPU with SSE2. In the mean time, I have bumped 10.3 to the security-fixed 10.3.183.18 (*and* removed the RPM dependency!). I'm going to also consider adding a pkg_pretend check and failing the 11.2 install for non-SSE2 CPUs, recommending users package-mask their way back to 10.3. Leaving this bug open to track the upstream CPU issue and future pkg_pretend changes.

The original issue (Adobe compiles with SSE2 instructions) hasn't been fixed yet (at least I don't think so) So I have 2 questions: - Does your /proc/cpuinfo have SSE2 - Does the workaround of downgrading to 10.3 still work for you?

The crash is most likely caused by the non-working plugin triggering the problem behind 13.0.1 release.

Youtube and all flash sites shows a black box instead of the player. It works fine on Google Chrome. i'm reinstall this package and nothing happend. im using Ubuntu lucid 10.04.3 Adobe-flashplugin 11.2.202.228-0lucid1 adobe-flash-properties-gtk works fine. This package is not stable. - This is apparently caused by the use of SSE2 instructions in new versions of adobe flash binaries, but only on older CPU's not implementing SSE2. There is an upstream bug reported for this: https://bugbase.adobe.com/index.cfm?event=bug&id=3161034 Note that this code is binary only outside of Adobe. Where lernid, and apparently epiphany-browser use webkit they don't catch SIGILL. Both crash and close with the message "Illegal Instruction" sent to the console.
