version.
I agree. The 32-bit wrapper version didn't work at all on my 8.10
install. If a movie started at all it would freeze after the first few
seconds. After installing the 64-bit version everything has worked
perfectly.
So what happens to flashplugin-nonfree? Should it be removed completely?
I hate to be a nag about the user experience, but how will end users use
the intrepid partner repository pasted above? Will Ubuntu updater have
an option to select partner packages? Will the OS installer allow you to
select
Perhaps. Or turned into a package that tells you how, or helps, to
enable the other one? Other options?
Maybe temporarily until the next release when it is removed completely?
It wouldn't make sense to keep the package long-term.

Since Adobe offers .deb packages directly, why can't they get set up as
an apt source and use a signed package instead of this download
mechanism? Wouldn't that fix this issue once and for all instead of
having to always have a period where users are broken whenever Adobe
bumps a version?
