As mentioned (but completely ignored) in bug 162484 Both the dev and ordinary versions get downloaded with -debug and ONLY the dev version for +debug. Maybe instead of: SRC_URI="!debug? ( http://fpdownload.macromedia.com/get/flashplayer/current/${MY_P}.tar.gz ) http://fpdownload.macromedia.com/pub/flashplayer/updaters/9/${MY_PD}.tar.gz" the ebuild should read: SRC_URI="http://fpdownload.macromedia.com/get/flashplayer/current/${MY_P}.tar.gz debug? ( http://fpdownload.macromedia.com/pub/flashplayer/updaters/9/${MY_PD}.tar.gz )"
Because flashplayer is *only* included in the -dev version; do some better research before posting your rants.
