jribyou can delete it03:28
jriband the tar.gz too03:28
dgeorgetesting cnn now03:30
dgeorgecnn working now... awesome man, thanks .. what was the problem there03:31
jribwell originally, the other package was blocking adobe's flash03:32
jriband then when we tried to install adobe's flash after removing the gpl flash we came across a bug03:32
dgeorgewhat was the bug03:33
jribbasically, the package tries to do what we did manually but it checks that the file is the right file when it downlaods it.  That causes problems when adobe releases a new minor version of the plugin and the package doesn't know about it03:33
dgeorgecool was there anything that i did wrong03:34
jribnope03:34
jribin feisty you can just visit a page and a popup appears to install the plugin so it's a bit easier now :)03:35
dgeorgecool I will have to install feisty when i have time03:35
