V.T. Eric Layton Posted March 25, 2011 Share Posted March 25, 2011 Hmm... I just Syu'd last night without any errors. I also installed flashplugin-prerelease from yaourt. That worked fine, too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well I got the error this morning. I had Vagabond email me about it two days ago so who knows. Just a heads up though.Also, I use the flashplugin-prelease as well. It works great for me.

V.T. Eric Layton Posted March 25, 2011 Share Posted March 25, 2011 I have a "Square" version that I d-loaded direct from Adobe Labs. It works OK in Slack, but Arch didn't want to recognize it, so I used the one in AUR. Works great. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The source in the PKGBUILD file shows http://labs.adobe.com/technologies/flashpl...imes/incubator/ as the source. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
V.T. Eric Layton Posted March 25, 2011 Share Posted March 25, 2011 Yup. It's the same build.Oh, and I did just get the Pacman upgrade error. Going to follow your instructions above to fix right now. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
