Description Alex Efros 2012-10-07 01:07:10 UTC 
While updating system with www-plugins/adobe-flash-11.1.102.55 and CPU AthlonXP 3000 I've got this error:

 * Messages for package www-plugins/adobe-flash-11.2.202.238:

 * This version of adobe-flash requires a CPU that supports the
 * SSE2 instruction set, and at least one of your CPUs does not
 * support this feature.
 * 
 * You should mask this version and use adobe-flash-10.3.* instead.

So, it force me to downgrade from 11.1 to 10.3. Not sure is this good idea at all, but 11.1 was removed from portage anyway, so looks like there is no other choice.

But attempt to install 10.3 was also failed because it can't download http://fpdownload.macromedia.com/get/flashplayer/pdc/10.3.183.18/install_flash_player_10_linux.tar.gz (404 Not Found).

So, right now there is NO working ebuild for flash on CPU without SSE2!

Here is steps to download 10.3 (found on http://helpx.adobe.com/flash-player/kb/archived-flash-player-versions.html):

  $ wget http://fpdownload.macromedia.com/get/flashplayer/installers/archive/fp_10.3.183.18_archive.zip
  $ unzip -p fp_10.3.183.18_archive.zip fp_10.3.183.18_archive/10_3r183_18/flashplayer10_3r183_18_linux.tar.gz > $(portageq distdir)/adobe-flash-10.3.183.18.i386.tar.gz
  $ rm fp_10.3.183.18_archive.zip

I can confirm this and was just about to file the same bug, if this could be fixed within portage that would be great!

www-plugins/adobe-flash-10.3.183.43 should be good.
