Thanks for the heads-up!

The good news is that this same version is out for both 32-bit and 64-bit, so the ebuild is now multilib-capable.  All you amd64 kids out there will get both players, a 32-bit one for your firefox-bin, and a 64-bit one for your native firefox.  If you don't want the 32-bit one, just set USE=-multilib :)

And how to do that if multilib is mandatory?

[ebuild     U ] net-www/netscape-flash-10.0.22.87 [10.0.21.1_alpha] USE="(multilib%*)" 8,748 kB

Forget my previous comment. With that line I still get the 32bit version installed.
lack, maybe you should use some different USE-flag for this purpose...
Comment 7 Jim Ramsay (lack) (RETIRED) gentoo-dev 2009-02-26 13:18:15 UTC
Indeed, this was my mistake in assuming that one could turn off the multilib flag... seemed like an obvious thing.

But it is not - That flag is forced on by any amd64 profile except the 'no-multilib' one.

See bug 260376 for tracking this issue.
