Continuing the discussion from Software Updater vs. Synaptic:
This is an observation while watching how a recent batch of updates progresses in Software Updater. I’m sure all settings are default (in particular, repositories).
Only after enabling multiverse (which wasn’t by default from install) did I get the recent Flash Security update in both Synaptic and Software Updater.
So Flash seems to be installed by default but not updated by default? Is this a good situation? Anything defective with my observation?
Just my 2 cents. I realize this may be a Ubuntu thing, of course.
EDIT: I’m sure Flash was installed because of checking off the proprietary option during install. If this wanted to be fixed, I’m sure this setting is the place.
