Why flash plugin is not updating?

Ortomala Lokni

I'm running Debian Jessie. I've upgraded the system with:

sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get upgrade

Then I try to update flash-plugin with:

sudo update-flashplugin-nonfree --install

But the command runs without output and the plugin is not updated.

sudo update-flashplugin-nonfree --status

gives:

Flash Player version installed on this system  : 11.2.202.577
Flash Player version available on upstream site: 11.2.202.616
flash-mozilla.so - auto mode
  link currently points to /usr/lib/flashplugin-nonfree/libflashplayer.so
/usr/lib/flashplugin-nonfree/libflashplayer.so - priority 50
Current 'best' version is '/usr/lib/flashplugin-nonfree/libflashplayer.so'.

If I reinstall flashplugin-nonfree with:

sudo apt-get install --reinstall flashplugin-nonfree

the same problem occurs.

What is the problem?

== Edit (June 7, 2016 )==

This is a recurring problem, running:

sudo update-flashplugin-nonfree --install
sudo update-flashplugin-nonfree --status

gives

Flash Player version installed on this system  : 11.2.202.616
Flash Player version available on upstream site: 11.2.202.621

This problem is already reported.

I know that it's never safe to run flash player but debian distribution should help to mitigate this risk for those who need to rely on flash player.

The update signatures aren't available yet; flashplugin-nonfree checks these to make sure the files being installed are OK (i.e. you're not downloading corrupted files). A bug already exists for this, you need to wait for the maintainer to react (or install the plugin manually).
