We should get on this quickly, as our current flashplayer package no longer installs. 

Just yesterday I updated two machines that had not been used for about a month. All updates installed except for the flashplayer.

This, of course, is normal because of Adobe's policies. There is little we can do except try to keep up.

On real hardware, HP Probook 6550b, i3,8GB, Intel graphics, Intel wifi, 64-bit Plasma system.

Packages installed cleanly. Checked the Firefox add-ons, and the correct version of the flashplayer was listed. Tried it on a site known to use flash for animation, and it functioned normally.

I could probably give this a 64-bit OK, but I want to try it on a couple of other systems first, later this evening.

On real hardware, Athlon X2 7750, 8GB, nvidia340 graphics, Atheros wifi, 64-bit and 32-bit Plasma systems.

Packages installed cleanly, 64-bit as an update, 32-bit as a new package install(which also pulled in freshplayer). On both systems, a site known to use flash functioned correctly.

This looks good to me. OKing and validating.
