Description Pieds Nus 2019-09-29 20:58:18 CEST
While trying to install the 28.0 version of the package flash-player-plugin, I get this error message : 

Error: Unable to download Flash Player. This is likely due to this package
       being too old. Please file a bug report at https://bugs.mageia.org
       so that the package gets updated. Thank you.

       In the meantime, you can download Flash Player manually from
       http://get.adobe.com/flashplayer/

Comment 1 Lewis Smith 2019-09-30 10:46:42 CEST
This does not look right. You have set the Mageia 'version' to Cauldron, but the errors show Mageia *5* (mga5). This has not been supported for a long time.
Please set the Mageia version you are using - unless it really is Cauldron.

For Mageia 7, I have: flash-player-plugin-32.0.0.255-1.mga7.nonfree
so the references to version 28 look odd. If you are in fact using Mageia 6, see bug 22820 and bug 22767, which cites:
 flash-player-plugin-29.0.0.113-1.mga6.nonfree
but that was 18 months ago, so it has certainly been updated since.

This bug is likely to be marked as a duplicate of the others, but we await your clarifications.

My bad, I was working on somebody else's computer, and forgot to check the Mageia version...

I'll just tell them to upgrade to the latest Mageia.

Sorry for the inconvenience, this bug can be marked as solved or inadequate or whatever fits a distracted reporter

Kuddos,
Piénu.
