Binary package hint: flashplugin-nonfree

Noticed Facebook games were not playing. Searched google and found a solution to remove gnash and install flashplugin-nonfree 9.0.115. I did so, but this did not resolve the problem. I then attempted to remove flashplugin to see if a newer version was obtainable, but the system would not let me uninstall.

That distro have reached EOL since a while; and such problem has been resolved long time ago.
