First thanks for the (long and) exhaustive comments! @Nathanaël: My main concern with pepperflashplugin-nonfree was that I was stuck with an impossible to update, outdated Flash plugin. In the past I had a cron job reinstalling the package everyday to make sure that a secure version of Flash plugin was in use; this approach is does not work anymore since the installation fails.
@Gunnar: The PPAPI plugin has some extra features the NPAPI will not get according to Adobe: "Because this change is primarily a security initiative, some features (like GPU 3D acceleration and premium video DRM) will not be fully implemented. If you require this functionality, we recommend that you use the PPAPI version of Flash Player." (https://blogs.adobe.com/flashplayer/2016/08/beta-news-flash-player-npapi-for-linux.html) Still most users should be happy with the NPAPI plugin or no plugin at all. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1632870 Title: Package is broken since Google stopped shipping Flash with Chrome 54 for Linux To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/freshplayerplugin/+bug/1632870/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
