Is it possible to only handle the adobe-release* repositories instead ? Unless all thoses adobe packages are really broken ?

The flash plugin packages are really broken indeed. They ship a package that is for all rpm based distributions, install in weird locations and do everything with a setup that is run in the %post sections along with ln and rm commands. Dependencies are missing and installs kde integration also on gnome. Since dependencies are broken if you remove it you will have loose directories all over.

If you have Redhat account, you can see that Redhat has a repackaged version in the "Supplementary" channel of the base RHEL releases.

I've been mantaining the flash-plugin for quite few years now for personal use and for the various companies I've worked for, so Alec/Sergio, if you are interested I can lend some help. The resulting package is 90% close to the RHEL one for which there is no spec file available.

The i686 bit package should also be in the x86_64 repository as Steam requires the Flash plugin for playing videos in the game detail pages. I've been doing this in my repository.
