Package: flashplugin-nonfree Version: 1:3.4 Followup-For: Bug #752023
Found a workaround/possible fix: The update-flashplugin script fetches http://people.debian.org/~bartm/flashplugin-nonfree/get-upstream-version.pl.gz.pgp and runs it. This is done in /usr/sbin/update-flashplugin-nonfree around line 200. This perl script is no longer valid for adobe's new landing site. The script scrapes Adobe.com for a link to "Adobe Flash Plugin" and then verifies the link is valid. Next the script scrapes the link it found for the latest adobe version and prints it to the console. I have created a patch for that file as shown below. The easiest fix would be to have Bart Martens update his get-upstream-version.pl.gz.pgp on his debian people page to account for this. --- get-upstream-version.pl 2014-06-19 12:53:02.526905033 -0400 +++ test/get-upstream-version.pl 2014-06-19 12:57:55.630909576 -0400 @@ -46,8 +46,7 @@ my $url = "http://www.adobe.com/";; $page = read_page( $ARGV[0], $url ); die "failed to read $url" if( $page eq "" ); - -if( $page !~ m,<a class="globalnav__sitemap__item__link" href="(https://get\.adobe\.com/flashplayer\?promoid=[^"]+)">,s ) +if( $page !~ m,<a href="([^"]+)">Adobe Flash Player</a>,s ) { if( -d "/var/cache/flashplugin-nonfree" ) { @@ -60,14 +59,14 @@ my $link_to_flash = $1; -if( $link_to_flash =~ m%^https://get\d*\.adobe\.com/flashplayer\?promoid=[A-Z]+$% ) +if( $link_to_flash =~ m%^http://get\d*\.adobe\.com/flashplayer/\?promoid=[A-Z]+$% ) { $url = $link_to_flash; } else { $link_to_flash =~ s,^/,,; - die "link to flash contains invalid characters: '$link_to_flash'" if( $link_to_flash !~ m%^[a-zA-Z0-9_/=?]+$% ); + die "link to flash contains invalid characters: $link_to_flash" if( $link_to_flash !~ m%^[a-zA-Z0-9_/=?]+$% ); $url = "http://www.adobe.com/$link_to_flash";; } -- System Information: Debian Release: jessie/sid APT prefers testing APT policy: (990, 'testing'), (500, 'unstable'), (1, 'experimental') Architecture: amd64 (x86_64) Kernel: Linux 3.14-1-amd64 (SMP w/6 CPU cores) Locale: LANG=en_US.UTF-8, LC_CTYPE=en_US.UTF-8 (charmap=UTF-8) Shell: /bin/sh linked to /bin/bash Versions of packages flashplugin-nonfree depends on: ii binutils 2.24.51.20140604-3 ii debconf [debconf-2.0] 1.5.53 ii gnupg 1.4.16-1.1 ii libatk1.0-0 2.12.0-1 ii libcairo2 1.12.16-2 ii libcurl3-gnutls 7.37.0-1+b1 ii libfontconfig1 2.11.0-5 ii libfreetype6 2.5.2-1 ii libgcc1 1:4.9.0-6 ii libglib2.0-0 2.40.0-3 ii libgtk2.0-0 2.24.23-1 ii libnspr4 2:4.10.6-1 ii libnss3 2:3.16.1-1 ii libpango1.0-0 1.36.3-1 ii libstdc++6 4.9.0-6 ii libx11-6 2:1.6.2-2 ii libxext6 2:1.3.2-1 ii libxt6 1:1.1.4-1 ii wget 1.15-1+b1 flashplugin-nonfree recommends no packages.
