rhertzog 2017-05-23 06:55 administrator ~0006736	Unfortunately, not really a new bug: https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=851066 This should really be fixed on the Debian side. With the scheme setup by the current maintainer, almost only him can fix the problem and he seems to have disappeared... :-(

rhertzog 2017-05-23 06:56 administrator ~0006737	See https://wiki.debian.org/FlashPlayer#Manual_update for a work-around.

kimocoder 2017-05-24 22:24 reporter ~0006746	Ok, i dont follow debian bugs repo yet but I will add it to my daily check-list. The workaround is a easy fix (for some of us anyways) thanks for replying, rhertzog

rhertzog 2018-07-27 09:21 administrator ~0009390	In the mean time, the package is gone from testing and thus Kali and nobody complained so I believe that we can live without flash nowadays.
