Hi!

I wonder how Fedora manages this. Hopefully i386 / x86_64 versions have
identical build numbers, otherwise we'll have to maintain 2 SPECs... :-/

Hmm not sure - I found this - http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Flash One could have multi Source0, Source1 etc. in the spec and do some conditional building with %ifarc i386 and %ifarch x86_64( see http://tldp.org/HOWTO/RPM-HOWTO/multi-arch.html )But I think that is a bit messy.We could write and ask Adobe to package the Linux tar file with both 32 and 64 bit version ? Or just wait and see what Adobe has in mind? :) BR,Bjarne

I think most Fedora users either follow the mjmwired.net guides and get
it from Adobe, or use Leigh Scott's version, which he keeps up to date,
most of the time.

Just an added note, Leigh posted that he's hoping to have it ready by
the weekend.

Hi Scott!

Many thanks for the helpful links, we'll try to find some time to have a
look. Right now, I'm busy with another project and Dag is fighting the
deadlines as well.

This appeared today on CentOS5 clients using yum update or yum install. This issue probably started yesterday.
That was the first time at paid attention to it. The missing library references belongs to packages in
Fedora12/13 and Centos/RHEL 6. Do not think this issue existed before the segfault problem yesterday.

You could try using --skip-broken to work around the problem
You could try running: package-cleanup --problems
package-cleanup --dupes
rpm -Va --nofiles --nodigest
The program package-cleanup is found in the yum-utils package.
