Hello,

Its been a while since I've used debian. I'm running testing and am not finding the flash plugin for firefox 2.0.0.14. Here is my sources file:

deb http://ftp.us.debian.org/debian/ lenny main contrib non-free
deb-src http://ftp.us.debian.org/debian/ lenny main contrib non-free

deb http://security.debian.org/ lenny/updates main contrib
deb-src http://security.debian.org/ lenny/updates main contrib

Thanks in advance,

ab

Ok, I have flash for firefox running now. I did the following:

1) Added backports to my sources.list file:

deb http://www.backports.org/debian etch-backports main contrib non-free

2) Ran the command: aptitude -t etch-backports install flashplugin-nonfree

I'm still not sure though why the package wasn't found given my earlier sources.list file.

If you go to the debian site and do a search for flashplugin-nonfree on the package page you find that it was removed from testing in December of last year. There is a version in sid, though.
