adobe-release missing from Adobe linux repository

[opoplawski]

I can no longer install adobe-release from the adobe-linux-x86_64 repository:

Downloading packages:

adobe-release-x86_64-1.0-1.noa FAILED

http://linuxdownload.adobe.com/linux/x86_64/adobe-release-x86_64-1.0-1.noarch.rpm: [Errno 14] HTTP Error 404 - Not Found

The URL you have changed some time ago.  To download the repo package go to https://get.adobe.com/flashplayer and select YUM from the drop down menu.

Note that the file you are attempting to download isn't the Flash Player installer itself.  It's the repo package that then allows the downloading and installing of Flash Player using YUM.

yes, but according to the repo data, adobe-release-x86_64 is in the repository itself as well (as it should be):

Available Packages

adobe-release-x86_64.noarch                1.0-1                               adobe-linux-x86_64

flash-player-ppapi.x86_64                  27.0.0.130-release                  adobe-linux-x86_64

flash-plugin.x86_64                        27.0.0.130-release                  adobe-linux-x86_64

So you should be able to install the adobe-release-x86_64 package from the repository.  This is necessary when doing a kickstart install of a system with the adobe reposiory enabled (which then isntalls the RPM signing key).  This has worked for me for years until just recently.

correct, and what I said before.

So you should be able to install the adobe-release-x86_64 package from the repository.

Not sure I understand, since adobe-release_x64_64 IS the repository.

The file has been posted at http://linuxdownload.adobe.com/linux/x86_64/adobe-release-x86_64-1.0-1.noarch.rpm , however, this is the same file as the one posted to get.adobe.com/flashplayer, as I mentioned in my previous post.  You can download both & verify the MD5 checksum - they'll be the same.

Thanks for fixing the repository.  It's important to be able to install the adobe-release-x86_64 package from within the repository as well.
