FWIW, the maintainer at negativo17.org said this error has
been corrected (in the comment section at the URL below).

The packaging of flash-plugin from Adobe is rather awful (as
is typical when vendors supply packages). According to
https://negativo17.org/adobe-flash-plugin/
the improvements over the Adobe packaging include:
This package tries to comply as maximum to the Fedora
Packaging Guidelines; this means the packages has debuginfo
packages, default Fedora’s GCC compile time options (where
possible) and standard locations for binaries, data and
docs.
Features:
* Separate Control Center integration package for the
native architecture (64 bit/32 bit).
* No copying of the plugin around the filesystem after
the package is installed; installation in the original
Adobe package is all done in %post section!
* 32 bit plugin can also be installed along the 64 bit
one in a 64 bit environment; this is useful for
example with the 32 bit Steam client or 32 bit
browsers.
Of course, it's still packaging flash, which is a steaming
turd that provides very little benefit these days (I'm not
counting "it's a great attack vector" as a benefit. ;) )
Unless someone is absolutely forced to use a site that
requires flash, not installing the flash-plugin package from
anywhere is the best plan.
