Bug Description
Binary package hint: flashplugin-nonfree
As of now, installing the flashplugin-nonfree package results in an MD5 error which occurs during the postinstallation:
md5sum mismatch install_
The Flash plugin is NOT installed.
These lines in the postinstallation script of the flashplugin-nonfree package need to be updated:
# verify MD5 checksum of (copied or downloaded) tarball
rm -rf install_
echo "821cc72359a937
|| fp_exit_with_error "md5sum mismatch install_
# unpacking and checking the plugin
tar xzf install_
echo "be5a2f9032f8fc
|| fp_exit_with_error "plugin changed, not trusted"
echo "a81fd3b03b8c6d
|| fp_exit_with_error "plugin changed, not trusted"
I got the same error while trying to install the Flash plugin from the repositories on a friend's computer. I haven't tried it on mine.
