I guess that affect all the Ubuntu releases, not just Dapper, and they are all broken? There is also an old bug report of mine about the security issue in the flash plugin we ship for Warty, Hoary, and Breezy (7.0.25) https://launchpad.net/distros/ubuntu/+source/flashplugin-nonfree/+bug/4430 The only way to solve the security issue is to upgrade flash to 7.0.61. I wonder if this new flash package could be made available for all Ubuntu releases, Warty/Hoary/Breezy as a security upgrade, and Dapper as a normal upgrade? -- Daniel Robitaille -- Ubuntu-motu mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-motu
