Description Jan Ciger 2015-06-27 22:15:40 CEST
Description of problem:

The Flash player downloader versions conflict between 64 and 32bit versions of Flash. Thus it is not possible to install both on a 64bit machine. 

The conflicting files are:
/usr/share/flash-player-plugin/functions
/usr/share/flash-player-plugin/README.mageia
                                                                                                                                  

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
11.2.202.468-1

How reproducible:
Install a 32bit version of Flash and try to install a 64bit one (or vice versa)



Reproducible:

Thank you for having taken the needed time to report this issue!

Did this bug get fixed? If so, please change it's status to RESOLVED - FIXED

If it didn't, then we regret that we weren't able to fix it in Mageia 5. Mageia 5 has officially reached its End of Life on December 31st, 2017 https://blog.mageia.org/en/2017/11/07/mageia-5-eol-postponed/
It only continued to get important security updates since then, because we are waiting for a big Plasma5 update in Mageia 6, that'll fix many of the Mageia 5 => 6 upgrade issues.

If you haven't seen that this bug got fixed, then please check whether this bug still exists in Mageia 6. If it does, then please change the Version (near the top, at the left) to "6". If you know it exists in Cauldron, then change Version to Cauldron. If you see it in both Cauldron and Mageia 6, then please set version to Cauldron and add MGA6TOO on the Whiteboard.

Thanks,
Marja

Hi Jan,

Please reopen this bug report if it is still valid for Mageia 7 or 8(cauldron), and change "Version:" in the upper left of this report accordingly.

I'm closing this report as OLD because it was filed against Mageia 6, for which support ended in 2019.

Thanks,
Marja
