Hi, I've just studied the behaviour of the updater script and I found out that it depends on the correct version being stated in this file [1]. It gets upstream information from Adobe's web page, but I'm pretty sure it relies on that file information for security, as it has checksums for every file and they are PGP signed.
Our maintainer should be aware of this because he's the author of the script :), and although I don't know if he has some automatic procedure for creating those files [2] (guess not) maybe we could improve the script to give more information if this happens again. Or I can volunteer for helping Bart with the creation of those files.
