       update-flashplugin-nonfree - program to get the newest Adobe Flash Player

SYNOPSIS
       update-flashplugin-nonfree --install

DESCRIPTION
       The  program update-flashplugin-nonfree takes care of downloading last minute information from Debian about suitable versions, removing the
       installed Adobe Flash Plugin if it has been reported as insecure, or, if a newer suitable version is available, downloading a  newer  Adobe
       Flash  Player  and  its installer from the Adobe download site, run the downloaded installer to install the Adobe Flash Player on the local
       system, and then move the installed files to where they fit on a Debian system.

       A copy of the downloaded .tar.gz is saved in /var/cache/flashplugin-nonfree for later reuse.

       The program update-flashplugin-nonfree is used in the postinst and prerm scripts of the Debian package, but this program can  also  be  run
       manually by root.
