Solved [Solved] Fetch failing for linux-f10-flashplugin11

Hi Everyone,

I'm trying to get Flash working for Opera as per the handbook, but fetch is failing (see below). This is a new machine running 9.2-RELEASE (amd64). I downloaded the Linux install from Adobe (install_flash_player_11_linux.i386.tar.gz) and tried copying it directly into /usr/ports/distfiles/flashplugin/11.2r202.297/ but it didn't help.

Also, shouldn't the port be looking for install_flash_player_11_linux.x86_64.tar.gz on my system ?

Any help is greatly appreciated.
Cheers,
Steven

Re: Fetch failing for linux-f10-flashplugin11

That revision of the Flash player is already obsolete. Update the ports tree to get the newer version. The ports system uses checksums to verify that the distfile is exactly the right one, both for reliability and security. That's why you can't just substitute a different file of the same name.

Right after I posted I thought "maybe I should update...."

Thanks, after updating ports, it worked.
