The new version of flash is incompatible with Konqueror because it
requires XEmbed (Bug 174343). 9.0.48.0 is the last version of flash to
support Konqueror in its current state. That could cause problems for an
update through the repositories. Some sites, including disney.com and
nick.com do not load properly. It would be great if someone tests these
sites with an older flash plugin and with Windows Flash 9 Update 3.

Also, there does not seem to be any easy way to download old flash
plugin from Adobe's website (not feasible for end users). The only way
is through the following archive of flash 9 releases (over 65 MB in
size):
http://fpdownload.macromedia.com/get/flashplayer/installers/archive/fp9_archive.zip
(this includes installers for all supported platforms).

Bug 175255 is also worth taking a note at, as it focuses on packages in
general being marked as installed when the md5sum fails. It is
especially a problem for non-console based managers.
