Hi,

Just noticed that doing "apt-get update" and "apt-get dist-upgrade" on
Debian Lenny now wants to pull in "ia32-libs ia32-libs-gtk
ia32-libs-libcurl3 ia32-libs-libidn11 ia32-libs-libnspr4
ia32-libs-libnss3 ia32-libs-libssh2 lib32asound2 lib32gcc1
lib32ncurses5 lib32stdc++6 lib32z1"

fischer:~# apt-cache show flashplayer-mozilla
[…]
Depends: libc6 (>= 2.3.6-6), libfontconfig1 (>= 2.4.0), libfreetype6 (>=
2.2), libglib2.0-0 (>= 2.12.0), libgtk2.0-0 (>= 2.8.0), libx11-6,
libxext6, iceweasel | www-browser, nspluginwrapper, ia32-libs-libcurl3,
ia32-libs-libnss3, libcurl3

Seems like a fairly radical change for a stable system!, but then again
using http://www.debian-multimedia.org is not recommended anyway. :(

A (quick) google search leads me to:

http://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php?pid=774473

Looks like I'll have to run the insecure version because of:

After this operation, 124MB of additional disk space will be used.
E: You don't have enough free space in /var/cache/apt/archives/.

Yeah, I know, hard drives are cheap. But till I get one, should I worry
about the security hole(s) or panic and not get on the web till I have
another HDD?

Indeed. And if Adobe refuse to maintain the older version there's not
much anyone else can do about it.

You can recover some disk space using 'apt-get clean' or (more
conservatively) 'apt-get autoclean'.

I would do the upgrade, if possible. If not, consider disabling Flash in
the meantime.

True.

True, but I do that anyway.

Mind you, you can get a lot on a 4G HDD. :)

(postgresql, apache2, iceweasel, mplayer-nogui, lxdvdrip, moc,
videotrans)
