I've just come here to report this exact bug as described above. Also using U 7.10.
After uninstall then install with Synaptic to try to fix my Opera flash trouble, I too had empty target directories and thus no longer had flash working in Firefox either. With a little digging I came up the same observations as Leigh. I've checked my Edubuntu 7.10 machine, which has no trouble with flash, and found that it is still using the older flashplugin-nonfree files, despite showing all updates in Synaptic. Looks like Synaptic also hit the checksum issue during update and did not complete, and thus did not overwrite the older files. Both of my installs were fresh in October. The flashplugin-free problem came up in December and is reported here - https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/gutsy/+source/flashplugin- nonfree/+bug/173890 -- Synaptic incorectly reports a succesfull instalation of flashplugin-nonfree https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/182468 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is the bug contact for Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
