Auto updates on opensue break flash

[Gary]

Starting in late August each time OpenSuse tries to update pipelight with yast flash fails to install on both 64bit and 32 bit systems running OpenSuse 13.1 KDE. The only way to fix is to uninstall pipelight and wine-compholio delete the .wine-pipelight folder and reinstall pipelight through a terminal using the instructions on the http://pipelight.net/cms/installation.html installation website. There have been update about every other day.

Hi,

unfortunately the debug output doesn't really help to find out what the issue is in this case.

Its also not really clear to me what you mean with "fails to install". Normally there should be no reinstallation of Flash after every update, only when a new version of Flash was released in the meantime.

Do you mean that Firefox shows the plugin as failed, and doesn't want to load it anymore? This could also mean that firefox has cached an error during the plugin initialization. If you're able to reproduce this issue, please afterwards take a look at the following diagnostic page:

http://fds-team.de/pipelight

It should display if the reason for the failure is caused by the plugin cache. To invalidate the plugin cache you either have to delete it manually, or to run:

sudo pipelight-plugin --create-mozilla-plugins

I'll look into the caching issue a bit more during the next days, and try to find a solution to prevent this cache error from happening. Normally it should be considered a firefox bug, but ... :/

Regards,
Sebastian

Hi Sebastian
A little more detail The Opensuse auto updater is only doing a minor update of the pipelight package. I also agree flash and silverlight should not be reinstalling but they are doing so on opensuse. After the update runs the first time I open Firefox the flash installer will briefly flash on my screen then the silverlight installer will fully run. If I then go to the plugins page in Firefox flash shows as version (0.0 flash error) it should be (14.0.0.179) and silverlight shows normal (51.30514.0) going to the Pipelight diagnostic: page just shows flash as not installed so that is no help. As I said this is only an annoyance to me but may a big deal to less sophisticated users.
Thanks for your great work
