Package: update-flashplugin
Hi
a little more info, hope this helps.
I have a sarge system in which I tried hacking
/etc/update-flashplugin.conf.rb
as noted above. This was the result.
# cat /etc/update-flashplugin.conf.rb
# -*- ruby -*-
#
module UpdateFlashPluginConf
SITES = {
# "sluglug.ucsc.edu" => "/macromedia/tarball/debian/",
"ruslug.rutgers.edu " => "/macromedia/tarball/debian/",
"macromedia.mplug.org" => "/tarball/debian/",
"macromedia.rediris.es" => "/tarball/debian/",
"fpdownload.macromedia.com" => "/get/flashplayer/current/",
}
end
# update-flashplugin -f
Checking new upstream release...

I was able to successfully install the player if I commented out all
other entries, ie.
# -*- ruby -*-
#
module UpdateFlashPluginConf
SITES = {
## "sluglug.ucsc.edu" => "/macromedia/tarball/debian/",
# "ruslug.rutgers.edu " => "/macromedia/tarball/debian/",
# "macromedia.mplug.org" => "/tarball/debian/",
# "macromedia.rediris.es" => "/tarball/debian/",
"fpdownload.macromedia.com" => "/get/flashplayer/current/",
}
end
The files installed are not known to the package management system.
# dpkg -S /usr/lib/flashplugin-nonfree/flashplayer.xpt
dpkg: /usr/lib/flashplugin-nonfree/flashplayer.xpt not found.
Were they ever? It seems like the /usr/lib/flashplugin-nonfree directory
should be, but this was not created when I apt-get installed the package.
I did not specify a tarball location or proxy during installation.
Please let me know if you want this filed separately.
