I have never used yum to remove a package before, and haven't even thought about the repo stuff since I passed the RHCSA test back in 2009. Yes, I need to stay on top of things like that and not just take it for granted. Anyway, you were of course correct. I cleaned it up and now Flash is working like a charm. I still don't know why or how the wrong file got in the repo but maybe I'll look at that some other time. Thanks for your help!
