Status in Adobe Flash Plugin Tools: Invalid Status in flashplugin-nonfree package in Ubuntu: Fix Released Status in msttcorefonts package in Ubuntu: Fix Released Status in update-notifier package in Ubuntu: Fix Released Bug description: At the 11.10 release archive.canonical.com collapsed under heavy load and started returning 503 errors. This caused the flash package to be unable to grab its payload and thus caused the package to fail, which in turn caused the installation to fail. The current plan is to add metadata to a package where it can add a URL to retrieve its data, so ubiquity and apt-get --download-only can cache it. We also need a way to queue up package installation post- install, for when we commit to installing flash but cannot do so due to network issues, or when the user wishes to have full language support post-install. This change requires a freeze exception for precise, as it involves adding new features to update-notifier and significant reworking of the maintainer scripts for the affected packages. It also introduces new UI components; however these UI components are only visible in the event of a failure, so I don't think we should block on UI freeze for making this change given the significant benefit to the install experience when a download fails.
