Bug#637455: update-flashplugin-nonfree hits 404 on macromedia.com (squeeze, amd64)

2011-08-11 Thread Lars Buitinck
Package: flashplugin-nonfree
Version: 1:2.8.2


Hi there,

I just tried to upgrade my Flash player, but
update-flashplugin-nonfree fails. It gets
http://people.debian.org/~bartm/flashplugin-nonfree/fp10.sha512.amd64.pgp.asc
correctly, but the file flashplayer11_b1_install_lin_64_071311.tar.gz
referenced there seems not to exist over at Macromedia:


$ sudo /usr/sbin/update-flashplugin-nonfree --verbose --install
options :  --verbose --install --

I checked their website, and they advertise 10.3 as the newest Flash
player, not 11. Is the installer perhaps trying to fetch a no-longer
existing beta version?

TIA,

Bug#621066: dpkg-query manpage doesn't explain -S well

2011-04-06 Thread Lars Buitinck
Package: dpkg
Version: 1.15.8.10
Severity: minor
Tags: patch

dpkg-query(1) explains -S as:
Search  for  a  filename  from  installed packages.
while it really searches for packages given a filename pattern. It also doesn't
include the word own which I've frequently tried to use to find this option.
