Thinking back to the experience on iPlayer when the change was made, the situation was exacerbated by the Flash 10 package being updated to Flash 11 *in place*, as opposed to a new Flash 11 package being built and adobe-flashplugin just repointed to it. Doing it this way rather than Flash 11 named as Flash 10 in Software Centre etc - the contents changed but the pkg remaining the same - would have meant it might have been possible to force version within Synaptic - or offer the two versions of Flash in Software Centre.
There is an active bug reported for Android on the iPlayer's help pages, which recommend they back down to 10.3 - but 10.3 is available as an app in the Android store. Win users have an installer to do the dirty work - surely it would be best for Ubuntu to offer a backout package just while Adobe get themselves organised... There's also the issue of large deployments when a showstopping bug is released within Flash... -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/886302 Title: [needs-packaging] - Adobe Flash 10.3.183.10 - as Flash 11 current breaks BBC iPlayer for NVIDIA ION-equipped netbooks To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+bug/886302/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
