sudo upkg-reinstall flash_player
ERROR: Package flash_player not found.

What can I do in order to install flashplayer? (I'm using paldo stable, freshly installed)

flash_player is a closed source packages, which means paldo doesn't provide a binary package with it

You may install it with upkg-build instead

Code	[In neuem Fenster öffnen]
# upkg-build flash_player

OSs: Paldo-testing x86_64 :: HP Pavilion dv9680ez

There was an issue with the flash_player spec for x86. Please try again

Code	[In neuem Fenster öffnen]
upkg-install flash_player

Hi juerg

It worked fine now. Flash works mit epiphany and firefox, thanks a lot!

Flash_player still won't build from source for me using upkg (I'm using Opera 10.10 on paldo 1.20 testing). So I downloaded and added the Flash 10 plug-in for Opera manually. Problem is, upkg keeps trying to build flash_player during upkg-upgrade and causes upkg to abort with an error every time:

(Building flash_player-10_linux-2 (testing)...
*** ERROR: flash_player-x86-glibc-2.11-gcc-4.4-1-10_linux-2

Not sure if flash_player is working with upkg for others, but is there a way to specify a package be excluded in upkg-install or upgrade - in this instance flash_player?

Can you paste the error message you get when using the following command?

Code	[In neuem Fenster öffnen]
upkg-install --verbose flash_player

I cannot reproduce the issue. Can you delete the package cache and try again?

Code	[In neuem Fenster öffnen]
sudo rm -rf /var/cache/upkg

I thought I had already cleared the cache properly, but this time it made the difference and flash_player built from source successfully. Thanks.
