Hmm, checked, but umask of root is set to 022. Indeed I played with umask, but 
only for the normal user.

Otherwise, I set umask in /etc/login.defs to 077, but IMO this would result in 
700 to files and not in 750 (as I saw). 

Thanks for the hint anyway, I check my system for any related configurations. 

Cheers

Hans

So far the only thing I have ever seen that causes that is silly people
who mess with the umask of the root user (which causes dpkg to make lots
of mistakes).

So if you ever set a umask for your root user, well don't and reinstall
every affected package to fix the permissions.

Are you using stable, right?
Acording to the Flash page on the Wiki [0], the Adobe's Flash is deprecated
and must be removed. Also on the testing or sid repositories it isn't 
available anymore. So i guess that won't be necessary to report a bug against 
'flashplugin-nonfree'

flashplugin-nonfree on debian-amd64 BUG ???

2008-12-08 Thread Hans-J. Ullrich
Dear maintainers,

latest version of package flashplugin-nonfree is (IMO) downloading the wrong 
version of flashplayer. It seems, it is downloading the 32-bit-version. This 
version is not running on my 64-bit system. 

I tried to use the 64-bit beta version of Adobes flashplayer and it is running 
well (using opera, as iceweasel got a bug with ELF, and yes, I already 
reported this)

So, as it is not quite a bug in the package "flashplugin-nonfree", I do not 
really know, if it should be reported. 

My suggestion: Change the package in that way, that it is downloading the beta 
version of Adobes 64-bit-flashplayer or make a new 
package "flashplugin-nonfree-amd64-beta" or similar, which downloads the 
64-bit beta version of flashplayer10.

If you are on another opinion, I will be pleased to write a bugreport.

Please drop me a line.

Regards

Hans
