I am currently running the Flash 10.2 beta on my system right now. I'm not sure how bleeding edge you want to get but this one has hardware acceleration in it if your hardware supports it. I just grab it from Adobe and put it in my plugins folder. Flash is still pretty bad though.
Also, I think you can force apt to install a package by running apt- get -f install. -Ryan On Feb 12, 2011, at 6:55 PM, Benjamin Scott wrote: > Hey list, > > Anyone know of a way to have apt-get (Debian) ignore dependencies > and download the frelling package anyway? > > I've recently reinstalled Debian 5.0 "lenny" on my PC (after a > unfortunate accident involving a package manager, a liquid lunch, and > a pair of rubber bands).
