Same problem here. Adobe apparently has a newer version, flash-player-ppapi-32.0.0.238-release.x86_64.rpm which the Mageia installation stub does not have. It probably should download the latest version, instead of being limited to a specific version

Not surprizing. The rpms have different names, but probably the same content. Thus dnf and urpmi assume they are different programs, but have files with the same names. The Mageia rpm for flash-player-plugin is just a program which downloads the ppapi file from adobe and then installs it. So, try just doing urpmi -e flash-player-plugin urpmi <location of downloaded file>/flash-player-ppapi-32.0.0.238-release.x86_64.rpm and that should work. However there might be some other massaging that Mageia does to make that file fit in with the Mageia system. That is why it is probably best if the Mageia packager changes the filename in the scripts in the Mageia rpm

The problem of Mageia having to chase the Adobe tail is there. 32.0.0.238 has been released and the 32.0.0.223 now does not install for me, as an "old" version.
