Bugzilla Bug 217799

It fails with:

* checking install_flash_player_9_linux.tar.gz ;-) ...                         
                                                                      [ !! ]

!!! Digest verification failed:
!!! /usr/portage/distfiles/install_flash_player_9_linux.tar.gz
!!! Reason: Filesize does not match recorded size

After recomputing the checksum with ebuild ... digest it completes fine, but
still this shouldn't happen. 

I understand that this is due to Adobe changing the file without changing its
name, but something should be done, especially since this version is online for
some time. Maybe checkum update with the new file in portage tree is in order ?

I have attache emerge --info ...

Yes.  This version should not ever be used, and should have been in p.mask or
removed.  The 9.0.48.0-r1 would have still worked.  For more details on why the
checksum on the .tar.gz broke, see bug 210616.

I have now removed both 9.0.48.0 ebuilds from the tree altogether, since that
version suffers from multiple security vulnerablities and has been replaced
with newer versions.

That fixed it, thanks. Strangely enough, I had 9.0.48.0-r1 in my packages.mask,
so this means that some time ago it didn't work for me and I went for plain
48.0 instead...
