I can also confirm this bug.

For the time being, you can use http://fpdownload.macromedia.com/get/flashplayer/pdc/10.3.183.10/flash-plugin-10.3.183.10-release.i386.rpm [1]. Drop it inside distfiles and it should work.

I too confirm.

However, just putting the new link does not help. It fails on digest verification. I'll look for help in forums though.

Pardon my ignorance. Instead of putting the rpm in distfiles/ directory I edited the ebuild to show new link. :-p Hence the digest verification error. After resyncing I was able to install flash. Thanks.

I get the same.  Perhaps it's time to stabilise adobe-flash-11.0.1.152.

I have temporarily patched this ebuild for now since Adobe moved the URI.

Also the latest version should be going stable soon, and everyone should upgrade when it does (See security bug #390149 for details):
