Yes, I discovered this. Wheezy uses 2.13. But why PepperFlash was linked to the library used in Testing instead of Stable, I don't know. Compulsive-obsessive behavior that one MUST have the newest of EVERYTHING? New Toy Syndrome? Newer is Better myth? ;-) Something I've never understood.

I'll check into this "fix." Unfortunately, I think, I'll be stuck with an "old" version of Chrome/Pepperflash forever, since I'll never be able to upgrade it on my Wheezy system because of the 2.14 problem. I've read it's possible to run 2.14 and 2.13 on the same system, but I'm wary of that option. More research needed. Thanks, again.
