It's now been well over two months since this bug was filed. Not only has the problem not been fixed, another Flash release has been made upstream in the interim; I've been retrying this once a day so that I'll notice as soon as a fix gets put in place, and it's now reporting failure to download the checksum file for 25.0.0.127 (vs. the original report's 24.0.0.194).
Getting this working in the short term should be nearly trivial for anyone who has write access to the ~/bartm/ Webspace. Does anyone other than Bart Martens himself have that access? If so, someone with that access should put the necessary file into place, so that the package is once again installable at least in the short term. If not, someone should adopt the package (or at least NMU it, though I suspect this would be out of scope for an NMU) and either drop the requirement for this external checksum entirely (making it optional would be fine), or alter the checksum lookup to point to a location which is write-accessible to a sufficiently large pool of people that one of them can be expected to respond to future Flash updates within a week or so. -- The Wanderer The reasonable man adapts himself to the world; the unreasonable one persists in trying to adapt the world to himself. Therefore all progress depends on the unreasonable man. -- George Bernard Shaw
