Public bug reported:
hi!
the upgrade of flashplugin-nonfree 11.1.102.62ubuntu0.10.10.1 (in ubuntu
maverick) broke flash for me so i looked into it...
dpkg-reconfigure flashplugin-installer
Installing from local file
/var/cache/flashplugin-installer/adobe-flashplugin_11.1.102.62.orig.tar.gz
install: cannot stat `adobe-flashplugin*//libflashplayer.so': No such file or
directory
the last message comes from the postinst script. the respective command
in that script is:
install -m 644 adobe-
flashplugin*/"$DPKG_MAINTSCRIPT_ARCH"/libflashplayer.so /usr/lib
/flashplugin-installer/
so apparently the $DPKG_MAINTSCRIPT_ARCH is not set correctly.
when i exported it from the shell, installation succeeded and the browsers are
able to to flash again too:
export DPKG_MAINTSCRIPT_ARCH=amd64 ; dpkg-reconfigure flashplugin-installer
Installing from local file
/var/cache/flashplugin-installer/adobe-flashplugin_11.1.102.62.orig.tar.gz
Flash Plugin installed.
