Thanks for the test, Claire. Good to see you here.

I actually ran into this bug yesterday while checking the performance on my old 32-bit laptop on another issue. I attempted to install the flashplayer using our current package, and it failed for the usual reason: Adobe had removed that one from the download site.

Hardware tested: Dell Inspiron 5100, 32-bit P4, 2GB RAM, Radeon 7500 (RV200) graphics, old Atheros wifi card. 32-bit Xfce system.

After activating all of the updates-testing repositories (but not for updates), I installed this version of the flashplayer. This pulled in a freshplayer package too, and a pending glibc update that as far as I can see has not yet been released to QA.

All packages installed cleanly. Because of the glibc update, I rebooted before testing. Tested by going to closest radar.weather.gov site, Binghamton, New York, and running a local "enhanced" loop. Firefox asked to activate flash, I approved, and it worked perfectly.

Looks OK for 32-bits. Validating. Advisory in Comment 0.
