Hopefully, Marius.
This despotic attitude of Adobe people is simply disgusting, as it's showing here.

BTW, why "Fix Released" in Debian? Trying to crack a good joke??

NO FIX WAS EVER RELEASED. Period. Bart was right that the Debian people cannot do anything about it, as "upstream ain't giving a damn" as pointed out so verbosely (and correctly) above by Rafal.

As Flash is closed source, it would have to be done by Adobe themselves...OR...by some genius who knows about reverse engineering (disassemble everything and kickout all SSE2 shit). But knowing how big these files are, this may become a 1-year job...

*** WARNING *** UNOFFICIAL ***

Back in 2012, I decided to put up a Debian package back in 2013, and I stll get an insanely lot of download requests each week for it (even though I have never pestered any distro teams directly that they should include it)

Install it, and it will work OOTB on any non-SSE2 machine. Created from an older maverick package, I simply replaced the Flash bloatware by yet another Chrome build (11.2.202.236) and fired this up to ZippyShare.
