Adobe now has its own yum repo for installing the flash-plugin. Here is the adobe-release RPM, which contains an adobe-linux.repo file and a GPG key: http://linuxdownload.adobe.com/adobe-release/adobe-release-1.0-0.noarch.rpm and here are the contents of adobe-linux.repo: [adobe-linux] name=Adobe Systems Incorporated baseurl=http://linuxdownload.adobe.com/linux/$basearch/ enabled=1 gpgcheck=1 gpgkey=file:///etc/pki/rpm-gpg/RPM-GPG-KEY-adobe-linux
This is Adobe's fault as they're not providing an x86_64 repo, but on x86_64 $basearch expands out to x86_64. See http://linuxdownload.adobe.com/linux/x86_64/repodata/repomd.xml vs http://linuxdownload.adobe.com/linux/i386/repodata/repomd.xml
