This means that any site which tests if Flash is installed will get a "no" answer and tell me "Please install Flash" instead of trying to use it and producing the browser-generated question "Do you want to enable Flash for www.example.com ? [ Enable ] [ Cancel ]" or something like that. I haven't tried clicking the "Update Now" button, because when I did so for earlier Flash versions in the past, I was sent to some Adobe page where a Flash NPAPI plugin could be downloaded, but not one compatible with the "flash-player", "flash-player-gnome" and/or "flash-player-ppapi" packages found on the Packman repositories. The "Software Management" function of YaST tells me that on all the repositories I have enabled, the only available version of the Flash packages is 32.0.0.303-lp151.1.1, and only from Vendor http://packman.links2linux.de When I had a similar message a few weeks ago about an earlier version of the same plugin, I asked about it in IRC (#packman on irc.freenode.net) and I got the answer: "I updated the package, but nobody cares about Flash anymore, you'll get the same error again when this new version gets outdated" with a link to this mailing list. So, long story short: Please, someone, push an updated version of the three above-mentioned Flash packages to the Packman repository for openSUSE Leap 15.1. Best regards, Tony. _______________________________________________ Packman mailing list [email protected] http://lists.links2linux.de/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/packman
