None of this really does anything for the guy who just bought his Ubuntu preinstalled laptop/desktop hoping to get into Linux. Focus should be on usability of future flash updates from an end user standpoint, just make the backend logic work. When faced with end users struggling or breaking a packaging policy you should be thinking of your higher interest the end user.

So my point is that they can either wait for the package to go through the update process, or install it themselves. The latter being trivial in the 64-bit case, since there are no 32-bit libraries and wrapper to deal with. -- flashplugin-nonfree fails to install due to md5sum mismatch https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/173890 You received this bug notification because you are a direct subscriber of the bug. -- flashplugin-nonfree fails to install due to md5sum mismatch https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/173890 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is a direct subscriber. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
