I should have mentioned that anything that uses apt for installation, like apt-get or aptitude or synaptic or even the "software centre" downloads the debs into /var/cache/apt/archives. So all you need do to keep a copy of a package deb is to make a dir to hold your stuff e.g.
sudo mkdir -p /usr/local/backup and then copy the file(s) in e.g. sudo cp /var/cache/apt/archives/adobe-flash*11.1.102.63*.deb /usr/local/backup to install one or more .deb or you do e.g. sudo dpkg -i /usr/local/backup/adobe-flash*11.1.102.63*.deb Easy as that. The point about only having files in /usr that came from a .deb cannot be stressed enough. If you manually copy stuff in, it will break something sooner or later. It is an absolute CERTAINTY. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/967182 Title: Flash plugin 11.2.202.228 breaks firefox and chromium in Precise and Oneiric To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/adobe-flashplugin/+bug/967182/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
