Description Michael Steen 2015-10-21 03:28:13 CEST 
I tried to install the flash-player-plugin but the install failed saying, that the package is likely being too old.
It is the latest being offered by the Mageia package management system (GUI or CLI) although the latest version from Adobe is 11.2.202.540.

An update very soon will be highly appreciated.
Thank you.

Mageia 4 will not be getting any further updates, with the possible exception
of fixes to allow smooth upgrading to Mageia 5, so I'm closing this bug as
wontfix. Time to upgrade to Mageia 5.
