Hello, (reportbug is still borken per Bug #758619 so this will have to do; I can provide more information on my system if necessary.)
I ran into this problem today both with flashplugin-nonfree:i386=1:3.5 and =1:3.6 because I have ca-certificates=20140325 installed but set it to "ask" me for each certificate. And the one that I needed, "mozilla/UTN_USERFirst_Hardware_Root_CA.crt" was not activated. I can reproduce this by deactivating it again and then: --------------------------------------------------------------------------- # dpkg-reconfigure flashplugin-nonfree ERROR: wget failed to download http://people.debian.org/~bartm/flashplugin-nonfree/D5C0FC14/get-upstream-version.pl.gz.pgp More information might be available at: http://wiki.debian.org/FlashPlayer # wget http://people.debian.org/~bartm/flashplugin-nonfree/D5C0FC14/get-upstream-version.pl.gz.pgp --2014-09-27 13:54:57-- http://people.debian.org/~bartm/flashplugin-nonfree/D5C0FC14/get-upstream-version.pl.gz.pgp Resolving people.debian.org (people.debian.org)... 5.153.231.30, 2001:41c8:1000:21::21:30 Connecting to people.debian.org (people.debian.org)|5.153.231.30|:80... connected.

(Less security-savvy) users should be made aware which certificate needs to be activated for the install/update to work. In particular, they should be told by the flashplugin-nonfree configure script *why* wget (could have) failed to download the required file. Or that information should be added to <https://wiki.debian.org/FlashPlayer#Troubleshooting>. This bug being already closed and apt-listbugs being silent about it, I was completely unaware that something went wrong during "aptitude upgrade" (this package was not the only one), and suddenly found myself without *any* Flash Player plugin (in Chromium).
