[Bug 1593611] Re: flashplugin-installer: Can't drop priviledges for downloading as file Warning
*** This bug is a duplicate of bug 1522675 *** https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1522675 I just got this on a new 16.04.3 install. Flash version 28.0.0.161. I tried reinstalling it after the above workaround (theres a fi missing at the end). It still prints the error message, but the new version of flash appears to be installed and working anyway.
