If you find some indicator of where this `adobe-flashplugin' thing is actually hosted..., then you could try adding Canonical's repository to your sources.list, setting APT::Default-Release in /etc/apt.conf such that Debian's archive is preferred by default, and specifically `pinning' the `adobe-flashplugin' package to Canonical's archive. That should actually get you exactly what you want--assuming that the package is actually compatible, and assuming that Canonical/Adobe does actually do ship timely updates for that package. Actually, since the package-name is different in Canonical's archive than it is in Debian's, you could probably forgo any explicit pinning. -- "Don't be afraid to ask (λf.((λx.xx) (λr.f(rr))))." _______________________________________________ gnhlug-discuss mailing list gnhlug-discuss@mail.gnhlug.org http://mail.gnhlug.org/mailman/listinfo/gnhlug-discuss/
