'pepperflashplugin-nonfree' has no installation candidate [SOLVED]

Vytautas · 2016-01-17 09:00:14

Could you please help me to sort out with "pepperflashplugin-nonfree" install problem. According to Debian Wiki It should be available on Jessie, but after the command:

sudo apt-get install pepperflashplugin-nonfree

I have got a message:

Package pepperflashplugin-nonfree is not available, but is referred to by another package.
This may mean that the package is missing, has been obsoleted, or
is only available from another source

E: Package 'pepperflashplugin-nonfree' has no installation candidate

The same is on my both Bunsenlabs installations on different machines.

The contents of my /etc/apt/sources.list

deb http://ftp.litnet.lt/debian/ jessie main 
deb http://ftp.litnet.lt/debian/ jessie-updates main contrib non-free 
deb http://security.debian.org/ jessie/updates main contrib non-free 
deb http://repo.linrunner.de/debian/ jessie main 
deb http://www.deb-multimedia.org/ jessie non-free main

Thank you in advance!
Vytautas

irc, you want browser-plugin-freshplayer-pepperflash (for iceweasel) and backports must be enabled in sources.list.

If not already done you must add backports to your sources.list. To do so follow those instructions. Make sure that "contrib" section is included.

You need to add the "contrib" & "non-free" components to your main jessie source line (the first line), like this:

deb http://ftp.litnet.lt/debian/ jessie main contrib non-free

Then update your package database and install the package:

sudo apt update
sudo apt install pepperflashplugin-nonfree

I am presuming here that the OP wants pepperflashplugin-nonfree rather than the freshplayer plugin.

There is no need to use jessie-backports for pepperflashplugin-nonfree

pepperflash-plugin is in jessie sources, not backports. You need to enable the contrib and nonfree parts of your Debian mirror, as HoaS said

deb http://ftp.litnet.lt/debian/ jessie main contrib non-free
