I think the developers know enough already about how frustrated users are. Maybe as a community we can help solutions for new people. I encourage people to go around Ubuntu Forums, Launchpad Answers, Launchpad Bugs, etc. and help other users with problems like these. Maybe something like a reference to http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=636397 would be useful to users suffering from this problem, especially those who don't see the mismatch error (and only see an installed flashplugin-nonfree in Synaptic).
And because there have been many complaints over the fact that some "fixed" packages are available only to forum users, I have attached an archive of the files here. I do not believe you will be able to use 64-bit flashplugin-nonfree package without modifications on Ubuntu releases before 7.10. ** Attachment added: ""Fixed" flashplugin packages for different releases (Do not use with Konqueror)" http://launchpadlibrarian.net/11604964/flash.tar.gz -- flashplugin-nonfree fails to install... new version? https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/173890 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is the bug contact for Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
