Makes sense. Now we need an Ubuntu MOTU maintainer to take a look at this. I can't offer to put the alternative in place myself, it is beyond my skills (one day hopefully).

There is however a proper Conflicts between flashplugin-installer and adobe-flashplugin, that both provide NPAPI Flash, so I think it makes sense that there is one too between pepperflashplugin-nonfree and adobe- flashplugin, that both provide PPAPI Flash. I've subscribed the maintainers of the partner repository since they are in charge of adobe-flashplugin. I hope it's the way to go. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1544409 Title: Flash plugin is installed as a dependency of browser-plugin- freshplayer-pepperflash (freshplayerplugin) even if it is already installed by another package To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/freshplayerplugin/+bug/1544409/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
