Installation of the plugin asks twice for local copy

[Daniel Hahler]

Binary package hint: flashplugin-nonfree

When installing flashplugin-nonfree (9.0.48.0.0ubuntu3) I get asked twice if I had a local copy and have to accept the licence twice.
Once through debian/config and the second time in debian/postinst.

To reproduce:
$ sudo apt-get remove flashplugin-nonfree
$ sudo apt-get install flashplugin-nonfree

This is on Ubuntu Gutsy.

Hi Daniel
Do you still experience this?, has been some time, a couple of upgrades but no further feedback.

Thanks

[Daniel Hahler (blueyed)]

Basilio, yes, I can still reproduce it.
Do you cannot reproduce it? (given the recipe in the description)

[Basilio Kublik (sourcercito)]

Hi Daniel
I can't actually, i'm using hardy though, and flashplugin-nonfree 9.0.115.0ubuntu4, after i hit enter to install the package, it just download and install what it needs, no further user interaction is needed.
Could you please check in Hardy?

Thanks

[Daniel Hahler (blueyed)]

I've checked it in Hardy actually, and just again, since it happened with todays update.
I can reproduce it still using
1. sudo dpkg -P flashplugin-nonfree
2. sudo apt-get install flashplugin-nonfree
3. When asked for "Location to the local file", enter "" (nothing)
4. When asked to accept the license, enter "Yes"
5. Then, when the package gets setup, the same questions get asked again. (the previous question appear to happen in the preconfigure phase)

Can you still not reproduce this, or anybody else?

removed assigned to no one since no one has planed on fixing this bug

[John Vivirito (gnomefreak)]

Please remove all versions of flash you have installed. It sounds like
you had Flash's version installed than removed it but left the .so in
your profile.
Please try using a new profile and see if it helps.
I am unable to reproduce this at all.
Also you can try to look for the .so for flash, it should be in the following path
/usr/lib/mozilla/plugins
It may also be found in
/usr/lib/firefox/plugins
once removed and made sure the .so is gone from the above places you can

I can confirm that this bug is still present in hardy.

I apt-get-install, say, ubuntu-restricted-extras, which pulls in flashplugin-nonfree. The pair of questions come up first at the "Preconfiguring packages" stage, and again at the "Setting up flashplugin-nonfree" stage.

This is on a clean system that has never seen those packages before. I'm testing a system-config script that works on a machine that I can easily revert back to plain ubuntu-standard, and those questions are asked twice every single time.

[Daniel Hahler (blueyed)]

Thanks for your confirmation, Daniel.
Setting back to Triaged.

This bug is still present in the "flashplugin-installer" binary package in Ubuntu Jaunty.

Anyone...?

[Thomas Hotz (thotz-deactivatedaccount)]

Do you still have this bug? Which Ubuntu/ Flash version do you use?

[Daniel Hahler (blueyed)]

This is not a problem anymore - but probably because of a complete re-install of Ubuntu a while ago (also on a different machine).

I am closing this bug as invalid, since I am unable to reproduce it anymore (without too much effort).
