The reason is that some 64bit users have been using 32bit flash-plugins on 
64bit. Repoforge for some time (and now Adobe) offer 64bit flash-plugin 
packages, but a lot of 64bit users have the 32bit repository enabled.

Hence you get those conflicts.

There is nothing I can do regarding this. Users having problems may have 
to change their configuration and use the 64bit plugin instead. The only 
thing that is under my control is keeping the flash-plugin up-to-date.

Which is not that simple, because Red Hat is at flash-plugin v10 and Adobe 
does not release any security information, nor is there something I can 
subscribe to to get informed of updates.

Although I did add the 32bit and 64bit repositories to my local mrepo 
instance.
