[EN] (solved) flashplugin update not working
« on: 2013/06/12, 02:21:43 »
Due to a critical bug
DE: http://www.heise.de/newsticker/meldung/Juni-Updates-fuer-Flash-Player-und-Co-1886758.html
EN: should appear here soon:
http://www.h-online.com/
we should update flash, but

Code: [Select]
update-flashplugin-nonfree -iv does not work. The updater sees the new version 11.2.202.291 but seems to d/l an empty file.

I still have the old version 11.2.202.285 although no errors occured during update.

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

What about manually installing?

Confirmed. michaa7, the output of your command tells
Quote from: "update-flashplugin-nonfree -iv "
installed version = 11.2.202.285
upstream version = 11.2.202.291
but later down where it says

downloading http://fpdownload.macromedia.com/get/flashplayer/pdc/11.2.202.285/install_flash_player_11_linux.i386.tar.gz
if you hover your mouse it points to the directory http://fpdownload.macromedia.com/get/flashplayer/pdc/11.2.202.285/ which is the previous version. So yes, something seems to be wrong with the updater who points to the wrong directory. Reinstalling like DeepDayze said is todays workaround. Does apt-get update && apt-get dist-upgrade pull a new version of the updater?

hmm... updated flashplugin-nonfree successful this minute to version 11.2.202.291 using the above command.

But due to my holidays I wasn't able to dist-upgrade for a while now. So may be I have an older package of the updater installed.

Code: [Select]
apt-cache policy flashplugin-nonfree
flashplugin-nonfree:
  Installiert:           1:3.2

... some hours later ...

same command *now* successfully downloads really something usefull and installs the new version. Maybe I was too quick in the morning and the server where the update comes from wasn't still set up properly.

@ ayla
same version here


Anyway, solved.

BTW:
Did anyone set up a cronjob on his computer like described here:
http://forum.siduction.org/index.php?msg=29597#29597

Did it update the flashplugin today?

I did set up the cron job on my main desktop -- that was a nice contribution by absolut.  But this morning I ssh'd in and ran dist-upgrade before I looked at the forum (living dangerously here ....).  I have the new plugin version, but I dunno whether I got it from the cron job or the d-u.

I think I will set up the cron job on one my other systems and see what happens with no d-u today.

Thanks.

d-u does not trigger an update, and there was no new flashplugin-nonfree today, at least on 32 bit. So it seems absolut's cronjob worked. Still further confirmation is appreciated ... next time flashplugin needs an update ;-)
