The problem is that c6 is still the default. I have no idea why as I have been
running c7 for many months with no issues. The package database is always built
with all defaults, so c6.

A solution is to create a linux-c7-flashplayer which depends on linux_base-c7.
Otherwise it can be identical to the current port.

An easy work-around is simply to build from the port. It's just a binary blob
so takes seconds to install the port. Another solution is to mark the port as
not to be packaged at all, but that would cause more issues than it's worth,
especially with flash rapidly disappearing from the web.

You might create a port adding:
CONFLICTS=      linux-flashplugin-[0-9]*
and
USES= linux:c7
and submit it.
