[Nix-dev] flashplayer updated to 11.2.202.251

[Ellis Whitehead]

I also tried :
$ cd ~
$ nix-env -f nixpkgs -i flashplayer

(I had to edit the `url` variables in default.nix too, since the file
naming scheme changed slightly)

The tar.gz file is then correctly downloaded, but then produces an error
that the build of flashplayer-11.2.202.251.drv failed.

As before, any help would be appreciated.
