Bug 247311 was filed against the AMD64 alpha ebuild. rpm was removed from the inherit line while it still remains in the amd64 ebuild it was supposed to be removed from. I added rpm back to the inherit line in the ebuild and it installed just fine. Thanks, hope this can get fixed soon. Result of emerging with current ebuild. >>> Emerging (1 of 1) net-www/netscape-flash-10.0.12.36-r1 * flash-plugin-10.0.12.36-release.i386.rpm RMD160 SHA1 SHA256 size ;-) ...

Flash plugin file does not exist killing all rick rolls.
Indeed. This was due to my accidental removal of the 'inherit rpm' line as a result of bug #247311 - I removed it from the wrong ebuild. This is now fixed - Sync your tree again and all will be well.
Thanks for getting this fixed so quickly.
