== Debian stable / etch ==

Adobe has moved Adobe Flash Player 9 to their archived versions, so DebPkg:etch-backports/flashplugin-nonfree 1:1.4~bpo40+1 was updated (the flashplugin-nonfree-lastminute script, see http://bugs.debian.org/509098). Maybe Adobe Flash Player 10 can be supported on Debian stable / etch by backporting flashplugin-nonfree 1:1.8.1 and all its dependencies. Instructions below are to be updated.

This does currently not work on amd64 because of bug Bug:499043. Works fine on i386. Users of amd64 may want to try the DebPkg:experimental/flashplugin-nonfree package instead.

?Anchor(stable-with-backports)

Combine Debian stable and backports.org

Be warned : The resulting system can't be considered plain "stable" anymore.

Import archive's key into apt :

wget -O - http://backports.org/debian/archive.key | apt-key add -

Edit /etc/apt/preferences or create it. An example of /etc/apt/preferences :

Package: *
Pin: release o=Debian,a=stable
Pin-Priority: 500

Package: flashplugin-nonfree
Pin: release o=Debian,a=stable
Pin-Priority: -1

Package: flashplugin-nonfree
Pin: release o=Backports.org archive,a=etch-backports
Pin-Priority: 500

Package: *
Pin: release a=now
Pin-Priority: 100

Package: *
Pin: release o=Debian
Pin-Priority: -1

Package: *
Pin: release *
Pin-Priority: -1

Add this line to /etc/apt/sources.list :

deb http://www.backports.org/debian etch-backports main contrib

To update the lists of available packages :

apt-get update

That's it. Now your Debian stable system is configured to use flashplugin-nonfree from backports.org as if flashplugin-nonfree were a package in Debian stable itself.
