Cannot update pepperflash

Legacy Netrunner 17
1

According to Adobe’s version control site http://www.adobe.com/de/software/flash/about/ I have pepperflash 21,0,0,216 installed but the newest version is 21.0.0.242. So I tried to update and this is what I get:

sudo update-pepperflashplugin-nonfree -iv options : -i -v -- temporary directory: /tmp/pepperflashplugin-nonfree.i7agKD3T3Q doing apt-get update on google repository cleaning up temporary directory /tmp/pepperflashplugin-nonfree.i7agKD3T3Q ... ERROR: failed to retrieve status information from google : W: Es gibt keine öffentlichen Schlüssel für die folgenden Schlüssel-IDs: 1397BC53640DB551 More information might be available at: http://wiki.debian.org/PepperFlashPlayer

Packages are current, browser-plugin-freshplayer-pepperflash is version 0.3.2-1 and pepperflashplugin-nonfree 1.7ubuntu1.

I even tried to add the key to apt database by

[code]root@panther:/home/susan# gpg --keyserver pgp.mit.edu --recv-keys 640DB551

gpg: Verzeichnis /root/.gnupg' erzeugt gpg: Neue Konfigurationsdatei/root/.gnupg/gpg.conf’ erstellt
gpg: WARNUNG: Optionen in /root/.gnupg/gpg.conf' sind während dieses Laufes noch nicht wirksam gpg: Schlüsselbund/root/.gnupg/secring.gpg’ erstellt

root@panther:/home/susan# gpg --armor --export 640DB551 | apt-key add -
OK
root@panther:/home/susan# apt-get update
[/code]

Didn’t change anything. And why is a different key D38B4796 added than 640DB551 ?

EDIT: Please try this first before the things I wrote underneath.

Download and update the gpg key signing thing for the original pepperflash updater as root with

cd ​/usr/lib/pepperflashplugin-nonfree
wget -q -O - https://dl.google.com/linux/linux_signing_key.pub > pubkey-google.txt

After that try the normal update mechanism again.

I think the script is simply wrong.
Can you try this here a.k.a. update-pepperflash-nonfree2.sh

cd ..
rm -rf $UNPACKDIR

Just copy and save it as update-pepperflash-nonfree2.sh make the file executable

chmod +x update-pepperflash-nonfree2.sh

and execute it in terminal via sudo.

It was the edit part, thanks :slight_smile:
