--- Begin Message ---Package: flashplugin-nonfree Version: 1:3.2 Severity: important Dear Maintainer, Each flash update, we can't update our flash player, and we must wait you update the checksum. Last update took 2 weeks, this is unacceptable for an important package like that. The update before took 1 week if I remember. We are all vulnerable between this time. We don't have to wait 2 weeks to apply a security patch to iceweasel, the same principle should apply here. Updating the checksum is not a solution. Again, the same problem happen to update from 350 to 356, must all the users have to be vulnerable for weeks until you have the time to update the checksum? Thank you. ung ung@***:~$ sudo update-flashplugin-nonfree --install [sudo] password for ung: already exists: /usr/bin/flash-player-properties already exists: /usr/share/applications/flash-player-properties.desktop already exists: /usr/share/icons/hicolor/16x16/apps/flash-player-properties.png already exists: /usr/share/icons/hicolor/22x22/apps/flash-player-properties.png already exists: /usr/share/icons/hicolor/24x24/apps/flash-player-properties.png already exists: /usr/share/icons/hicolor/32x32/apps/flash-player-properties.png already exists: /usr/share/icons/hicolor/48x48/apps/flash-player-properties.png already exists: /usr/share/pixmaps/flash-player-properties.png ung@***:~$ sudo update-flashplugin-nonfree --status Flash Player version installed on this system : 11.2.202.350 Flash Player version available on upstream site: 11.2.202.356 flash-mozilla.so - auto mode link currently points to /usr/lib/flashplugin-nonfree/libflashplayer.so /usr/lib/flashplugin-nonfree/libflashplayer.so - priority 50 Current 'best' version is '/usr/lib/flashplugin-nonfree/libflashplayer.so'. -- Package-specific info: Debian version: 7.5 Architecture: amd64 Package version: 1:3.2 Adobe Flash Player version: LNX 11,2,202,350 MD5 checksums: 208968bb1109e8627fa3c08b43814bee /var/cache/flashplugin-nonfree/get-upstream-version.pl c691f758e2bd78240ea278e0180aaa2a /var/cache/flashplugin-nonfree/install_flash_player_11_linux.x86_64.tar.gz d5fb702df9031ab6d3481e7106f94677 /usr/lib/flashplugin-nonfree/libflashplayer.so Alternatives: flash-mozilla.so - auto mode link currently points to /usr/lib/flashplugin-nonfree/libflashplayer.so /usr/lib/flashplugin-nonfree/libflashplayer.so - priority 50 Current 'best' version is '/usr/lib/flashplugin-nonfree/libflashplayer.so'. lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 34 Dec 29 14:19 /usr/lib/mozilla/plugins/flash-mozilla.so -> /etc/alternatives/flash-mozilla.so /usr/lib/mozilla/plugins/flash-mozilla.so: symbolic link to `/etc/alternatives/flash-mozilla.so' -- System Information: Debian Release: 7.5 APT prefers stable-updates APT policy: (500, 'stable-updates'), (500, 'stable') Architecture: amd64 (x86_64) Kernel: Linux 3.2.0-4-amd64 (SMP w/8 CPU cores) Locale: LANG=en_US.UTF-8, LC_CTYPE=en_US.UTF-8 (charmap=UTF-8) Shell: /bin/sh linked to /bin/dash Versions of packages flashplugin-nonfree depends on: ii binutils 2.22-8 ii debconf [debconf-2.0] 1.5.49 ii gnupg 1.4.12-7+deb7u3 ii libatk1.0-0 2.4.0-2 ii libcairo2 1.12.2-3 ii libcurl3-gnutls 7.26.0-1+wheezy9 ii libfontconfig1 2.9.0-7.1 ii libfreetype6 2.4.9-1.1 ii libgcc1 1:4.7.2-5 ii libglib2.0-0 2.33.12+really2.32.4-5 ii libgtk2.0-0 2.24.10-2 ii libnspr4 2:4.9.2-1+deb7u1 ii libnss3 2:3.14.5-1 ii libpango1.0-0 1.30.0-1 ii libstdc++6 4.7.2-5 ii libx11-6 2:1.5.0-1+deb7u1 ii libxext6 2:1.3.1-2+deb7u1 ii libxt6 1:1.1.3-1+deb7u1 ii wget 1.13.4-3+deb7u1 flashplugin-nonfree recommends no packages.

--- Begin Message ---The best solution would be to have the Flash Player updates triggered by updated flashplugin-nonfree packages released via security.debian.org. But that's unfortunately a no-go, see 732734 and 752277.
