Debian Wiki FlashPlayer page

[Tim Legg <kc0ofc@yahoo.com>]

Hello, 

Regarding the page http://wiki.debian.org/FlashPlayer,

In executing the step,

# apt-get install flashplugin-nonfree

I get an error,

Package flashplugin-nonfree is not available, but is referred to by another package.
This may mean that the package is missing, has been obsoleted, or
is only available from another source
E: Package flashplugin-nonfree has no installation candidate

Obviously there was an ommission of a step somewhere within the process or that the document has become a bit obsolete.

Thanks,

Tim




A bit off-topic:  For some reason, none of the methods I used in the past for installing Flash Player for previous versions of Debian work in my freshly installed 4.0r5.  I usually download the tar.gz from adobe.  Neither epihany nor iceweasel seem to see the plugin, even though the plugin was copied correctly to the mozilla plugins directory, so there seems to be a larger problem at hand.  I will figure it out when it becomes a priority and some related posts start appearing on forums.  It isn't urgent at all and I can still boot my older 4.0r3 when I need flash or sound to work.
