in this regard, i'd like to point out that you can also run flash-update via a cronjob, as described in this thread:

http://forum.siduction.org/index.php?topic=3449.30

thus, flash will be updated automatically

yes, I have installed the cronjob, and it really seems to work as the installed version is 11.2.202.332.
But I wonder *when* it happend:
Quote
# ls -la /usr/lib/flashplugin-nonfree/libflashplayer.so
-rw-r--r-- 1 root root 17422820 Dez  1 10:12 /usr/lib/flashplugin-nonfree/libflashplayer.so
Does that mean the cronjob installed it 12 days ago?
No, it seems to show the time the file was created (compiled or packed). Anyway, I got it automatically via the cronjob.

Ok, you can't code, but you still might be able to write a bug report for Debian's sake

+10 or can the update be incorporated in a apt-get update?

Don't know if this helps, but somehow I am getting updates automatically.  I can't find a cron job that would be making the call, so I think it might be somewhere in apt?

If you see "flashplugin-nonfree" updated in apt-get, that's *not* the player but the updater!

This tells you the version of the *updater*. If you want to know the version of the flashplugin-nonfree you need to go on a website where there is flash content. Then rightclick and see your version.


Or simply click here and compare the output to the newest linux version:
http://www.adobe.com/de/software/flash/about/


Edit: ok, didn't see the whole input, you are right, "update-flashplugin-nonfree --status" tells you what you need to know, too.

The installer is as flawed as the plugin itself! Some bogus output, suggesting an install took place, when it did not download anything!
Please note the '404-not found'-error!

I ended up downloading the package http://get.adobe.com/de/flashplayer/download/?installer=Flash_Player_11.2_for_other_Linux_(.tar.gz)_64-bit&standalone=1 , extracting it and copying to the right places.
Code: [Select]

cp libflashplayer.so /usr/lib/flashplugin-nonfree/
After that
