With initial installation or package upgrade, I see flashplugin- installer downloading and installing the tar.gz file from adobe. So far ok. Then, wrongly, the subsequent run of /etc/cron.daily/update-notifier- common downloads and installs the same tar.gz file again. This happens because update-notifier-common (or rather /usr/lib /update-notifier/package-data-downloader) finds a definition file /usr/share/package-data-downloads/flashplugin-installer but no stamp file /var/lib/update-notifier/package-data-downloads/flashplugin- installer. After the run of update-notifier-common a stampfile is of course present, so that this unnecessary download happens only once. The postrm script of flashplugin-installer seems to handle this stamp file correctly, as it is no longer present after purging the package. But the postinst script should, I guess, create the stamp file on successful download, so that update-notifier-common can detect that no action is necessary. I verified this on two different machines, one is a fresh installation of ubuntu 12.04, the other is kubuntu upgraded to 12.04.
