Rich,
the Debian flashplugin-nonfree package downloads the Adobe flash plugin
from Adobe servers. The only content provided by Debian is a small
metadata update by the package maintainer.
Last week flash plugin 24.0.0.186 went live for Linux NPAPI. This is a
major upgrade over 11.2.202.644. It appears that the old version of
flashplugin-nonfree in wheezy is incompatible with these changes.
I was able to install flashplugin-nonfree from testing on a Debian
wheezy live system (7.11). I added the following line to
/etc/apt/sources.list (and I like to comment-out this line when not in use):
deb http://http.debian.org/debian/ testing main contrib
then ran "apt-get update" and installed with:
apt-get install -t testing flashplugin-nonfree
You can confirm the installation by running:
update-flashplugin-nonfree --status
and by navigating to:
http://www.adobe.com/software/flash/about/
Kind regards,
