Hello PipzDex!
Your package works correctly. Thank you for updating getflash!

However, I have realized, that I do not need flash player, because now most of websites use HTML5.
So I have another question: How to completely remove getflash?
I have tried to remove it using Menu --> Setup --> Remove builtin packages --> getflash, and it showed me, that getflash was removed successfully.
But, even after this removal, I still have getflash icon, getflash launch scripts and getflash files left on my system.
And that is strange. When I removed Abiword, Gnumeric and Figaro password manager using this utility, they were removed correctly.

hello Auronius

you can try to use uninstall with the Puppy Package Manager since you added the package and it is not a "built in" one.

No, no. I am speaking about built-in getflash, which comes with system by default. It is not listed in Puppy package manager.
Anyway, I did not find any possibility to remove it completely, except manually searching and removing all its files and folders.
Then I have tried to remove getflash from the clean unmodified Bionicpup64 install, using Menu --> Setup --> Remove builtin packages --> getflash. And discovered another bug :( I will describe it in new topic.
