Adobe stopped releasing Flash for Linux a while back. IIRC the only
"supported" Flash on Linux is distributed as a part of Google Chrome
(and that's going away sometime soon too, Chrome on all platforms will
no longer support Flash).
Don't know about C7 but I just yum updated my C6 system.

Summary : Adobe Flash Player NPAPI
Description :
Adobe Flash Plugin 32.0.0.314
See if the following helps:
(tigger pts2) $ cat /etc/yum.repos.d/adobe-linux-x86_64.repo
[adobe-linux-x86_64]
name=Adobe Systems Incorporated
baseurl=http://linuxdownload.adobe.com/linux/x86_64/
enabled=1
gpgcheck=1
gpgkey=file:///etc/pki/rpm-gpg/RPM-GPG-KEY-adobe-linux
This did indeed help. The Adobe repo appears in my update list. I
install NPAPI version. All LOOKS good at that point from the gnome
software app gpk-application. I look at what's been installed etc.
Then, as soon as I leave this environment, and get back into the
Software app, flash is no longer installed! I wish I was joking about
this but I've done this 3 times and I'm not going to do it again. :(
I see that some Adobe entries in Firefox's current blocklist.xml.
But...what is going on here? Are we absoluting FORBIDDEN in any way from
using Flash? Any insights?
