Bug Description

Binary package hint: ubuntu-restricted-extras

In Lucid, the package ubuntu-restricted-extras installs an outdated and insecure version of the Adobe Flash Player. It installs version 10.0.32, but it should be version 10.0.45.

As a workaround, you can afterwards use Synaptic to remove adobe-flashplugin (10.0.32) and install flashplugin-installer (10.0.45). But this is a only workaround, and of course it shouldn't be necessary....

Yes, I think it as as subject - outdated package in Repo - is the same.
