Immediately on reading this I installed flashplayer-mozilla on the computer I
was working on - my desktop - which is running Wheezy and TDE 3.5.13.2. It
installed successfully and I have used it.
Yesterday I went to install it on the computer attached to the TV, running
Jessie and TDE 14.0.2, and it failed "no candidate version found for
flashplayer-mozilla" and I can't find it in the package lists on debian.org.
But a search of the package lists also says that it isn't available in
wheezy.
https://packages.debian.org/search?suite=wheezy&arch=any&mode=path&searchon=names&keywords=flashplayer-mozilla
I have, however, just installed it on my husband's wheezy desktop, apparently
totally successfully. Unfortunately it doesn't fully work - it won't, at the
moment, run 4oD. It may be a question of the version of Iceweasel, so I
shall have to investigate.
But: why will it install in wheezy, but not in Jessie - and yet it is listed
in neither. :-/
