New Flash-Plugins available

[seasons]

You can work around the issue with pepperflash by adding the one-line patch shown in in: https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=769740

Like another commenter in that bug, I don't understand why the bug is marked as won'tfix, or what people who use the script are supposed to do.

thanks seasons

adding the line

APT::Sandbox::User "root";

works and pepperflashplugin is now

Code Select Expand

Thanks seasons!

You folks are welcome (though the thanks should really go to Bart Martens, who does an excellent job with the script).

It looks like the wontfix was either an error or that Bart has changed his mind, because he has applied the patch and there is a new version of the package (1.8.2) incoming.

Doing a general dist-upgrade is not a good idea right now though, because of the perl 5.22 transition: http://forum.siduction.org/index.php?topic=5941.0

... and there is a new version of the package (1.8.2) incoming.
...

where can we observe what is in "incoming" ?

'incoming' is not a repo (like experimental). I just meant that a new version had been uploaded and will be available once the mirrors sync. https://packages.qa.debian.org/p/pepperflashplugin-nonfree/news/20151217T233918Z.html

That's not true. Since a few months incoming is a repo as you can read here:

Awesome! That's good to know. Thanks, towo.
