[Bug 326609] Re: [MASTER] No flash in firefox after upgrade from intrepid to jaunty

[Dave Mays]

What is the adobe-flashplugin package then? Should it be removed?

When removing any and all packages with the name flash in it, then 
installing from the Adobe site it installs "adobe-flashplugin" not 
"flashplugin-nonfree" Which are different, so when the update occurs it 
tries to update "adobe-flashplugin" which has some serious problems.

dave at cerberus:~$ aptitude search adobe-flashplugin
i   adobe-flashplugin               - Adobe Flash Player plugin version 
10     
dave at cerberus:~$ aptitude search flashplugin-nonfree
c   flashplugin-nonfree             - Adobe Flash Player plugin 
installer      
p   flashplugin-nonfree-extrasound  - Adobe Flash Player platform 
support librar
dave at cerberus:~$

To replicate the problem, remove all flash from the system. Goto 
www.adobe.com click install flash, and use the .deb package option for 
Linux. Then when that is installed, you will get an update prompt from 
the system to update the adobe-flashplugin package, when you do this 
upgrade it is hosed...
