Problems with flashplayer on a new installation of Squeeze.
 

Is there a solution to the following problem? (See below) I see that the bug
was reported two years ago, so I am tempted to go for purge, but that may
leave some detritus. :-(

And if I were to purge flashplugin-nonfree, what could I install that would
actually work to play flash?

Would I do better to scrap, what is a very new installation of Squeeze - this
was part of the installation process - and reinstall?

Thanks,
Lisi

I get the same thing, but flashplugin-nonfree installs. So I then run
'update-flashplugin-nonfree --install' and it installs the latest version.
