Re: [OT?]Squeeze: update Flashplugin?

[Michael Graham <oobermick@gmail.com>]

Somewhat related to this, I've been having a problem where my system reports:

$ sudo update-flashplugin-nonfree --status
Flash Player version installed on this system  : 11.2.202.442
Flash Player version available on upstream site: 11.2.202.442

But Iceweasel is still reporting the previous version:

File: libflashplayer.so
Path: /usr/lib/flashplugin-nonfree/libflashplayer.so
Version: 11.2.202.440
State: Enabled (STATE_VULNERABLE_UPDATE_AVAILABLE)
Shockwave Flash 11.2 r202

Does anyone have a clue what is going on?

Thanks,
