The Adobe flash player is not directly in the repositories. The default Debian install doesn't have flash set up in the browser. The gnash plugin provides some useful flash functionality, but you can view youtube using html5 these days anyway. If you have installed the flashplugin-nonfree package from contrib, you will have ended up with Adobe's flash player (Netscape style plugin). However, the package itself does not contain the player; it is just a loader. So the version is whichever one Adobe supplies to the loader. The loader can in theory be rerun to get any upgrades, but that has become irrelevant, since Adobe are no longer upgrading for Linux (with the exception of Chrome). The last Linux version is 11.2. It is (incidentally) possible to extract the latest plugin from Chrome and use it in Chromium, but it doesn't work with Firefox. Glenn -- sks-keyservers.net 0x6d656d65
