[Bug 173890] Re: flashplugin-nonfree fails to install... new version?

[Cyrus Jones]

In case you don't know how to compile the package yourself (for 64-bit),
I am giving you instructions via the command line as these are more
straightforward (do these in order, one step at a time).

wget http://launchpadlibrarian.net/10756602/flashplugin-nonfree_9.0.115.0ubuntu2.tar.gz
tar -zxvf flashplugin-nonfree_9.0.115.0ubuntu2.tar.gz
cd flashplugin-nonfree-9.0.115.0ubuntu2
dpkg-buildpackage -b -rfakeroot

The first line downloads the tar.gz file. The second file extracts the
downloaded file. The third line changes into the directory created by
the extracted file. The fourth line builds a binary package.

Now if you go to Places -> Home you should see a file flashplugin-
nonfree_9.0.115.0ubuntu2_amd64.deb. Double-click the file and install
the package.

The attached package in the above comment is the same as what you
created using the above instructions. I recommend that you build the
packages yourself, however, because you should exercise caution when
downloading a random package (the source package is trusted as it is
from an included Hardy source package) since that lets anything be
executed that the creator of the package made (and possibly malicious).
