I noticed a few days ago that yum downloaded and updated a "new"

when I tried to use it, it wouldn't work.
I am running Seamonkey's 2.01 beta (because the 1.1.11+ versions crash
every time I try to save a web page and I need to do that too often
for this problem, whereas the 2.01 beta version NEVER does this, and
yes, I've filed a bugzilla on that, bu I digress), and I recently
installed Adobe's flash player version 10.0.12.36 from their site. It
worked perfectly.
Then this version appeared in the rpmforge repository, so my yum
dutifully downloaded and updated my version, and it stopped working.
I tried playing around with the symlinks, then I removed and
reinstalled it, and it still didn't work. Finally, I erased it (with
yum) and reinstalled my rpm from Adobe and voila, it works fine.
Can someone explain that one? Should I file a bugzilla on this?
Can you give a hint to what version you downloaded ? Because what is in
the package is just a binary plugin that comes from Adobe.
The only thing that may happen due to the packaging is that something is
stripped from it. But since I didn't have any problems with the new
release from my package (on the contrary, it seems to work much better) I
am not sure what is going on.
If I know what you downloaded that worked, I can compare it.
