Hi everybody,
I want to install flashplugin, Ther is an error on md5sum, I want to skip it, I mean not check it.
I used the --force-all, but it failed

debian225:/home/bela/Desktop# dpkg --force-all -i flashplugin-nonfree_9.0.48.0.0ubuntu1~7.04.1_i386.deb
Download done.

md5sum mismatch install_flash_player_9_linux.tar.gz

The Flash plugin is NOT installed.

thanks for help
bela

if the checksum failed you don't want to use that package, it's probably corrupt. re-download the package, and you can try again.

are you trying to install an Ubuntu package on a Debian machine ?

Yup, he is. @abd: You can get the flash from http://www.debian-multimedia.org. It's called flashplayer-mozilla there, I believe. There's no need to use an Ubuntu package.

I don't know, but no matter what you shouldn't do it. Ubuntu and Debian are not binary compatible. You shouldn't mix Ubuntu .debs with a Debian system.

If you need an exact version, then I would recommend downloading it directly from Adobe and following their instructions to install it. (Download the .tar.gz version, which is a generic Linux version, not the .rpm or YUM ones which are for RedHat and SUSE system.)
