Subject: flashplugin-nonfree: please use /var/tmp instead of /var/run Package: flashplugin-nonfree Version: 7.0.63.1 Severity: normal Tags: patch
/usr/sbin/update-flashplugin seems to use /var/run/flashplugin-nonfree as directory to download and unpack the plugin. Since this directory is generally used to store small run-time data [1] I (and several other people) have /var/run mounted as a tmpfs filesystem. The attached patch uses mktemp to create a temporary directory in the default /tmp directory (which can be set by the TMPDIR environment variable).
