Bug#486247: flashplugin-nonfree: Uninstalling still downloads updated binary
Gabriel M. Beddingfield
Version: 1:1.5
Severity: normal
people.debian.org was down, so installing an update hangs at wget. But
that's not the bug I'm reporting... when UNINSTALLING, the uninstall
still hangs at wget. The flashplugin-nonfree.prerm runs:
update-flashplugin-nonfree --uninstall
But, that script doesn't properly check for the --uninstall argument,
and goes ahead and downloads a fresh copy of the binary
(flashplugin-nonfree-lastminute.gz). This is actually related to
Bug # 483659 where the user noticed that this script gave the message
'Adobe Flash Player installed.' when uninstalling.
This patch fixes the issue:
