Yes. I updatedb.

It sure works.

...which explains why I sometimes found files I didn't expect to find.

May I suggest that you try it and tell me where your tar.gz file ends.

Go to:

http://get.adobe.com/flashplayer/

Select Linux,

Select tar.gz

The button says: Agree and install now, but I doubt that a tar.gz file is
installed automatically, mainly that my libflashplayer.so file in
~/.mozilla/plugins was installed in August and has the same number of
bytes as the 64 bit version. (At http://get.adobe.com/flashplayer/, you
get the 32 bit version.)

I also have:

/usr/lib64/mozilla/plugins/libflashplayer.so
/usr/lib64/mozilla/plugins-wrapped/nswrapper_64_64.libflashplayer.so

which were installed in August. I had installed libflashplayer.so there
"Just in case" but I wonder where nswrapper_64_64.libflashplayer.so comes
from.
