Public bug reported: Since last 3-4 updates of flashplugin-installer on both my installs of Ubuntu 12.04 and Kubuntu 12.10, I am facing the following problem: 1. 'sudo apt-get upgrade' shows that a new version of flashplugin-installer is available (along with update to other packages) 2. When I go ahead with the update, it downloads the flashplugin-installer from 'http://us.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/ quantal-updates/multiverse' 3. Further it shows 'Preparing to replace flashplugin-installer ... (using ...)' 4. Then 'Unpacking replacement flashplugin-installer ...' 5. The next line is 'flashplugin-installer: downloading http://archive.canonical.com/pool/partner/a/adobe-flashplugin/adobe-flashplugin_11.2.202.280.orig.tar.gz' - Here it remains stuck for sometime. I remember earlier it used to show the process of downloading the adobe-flashplugin at this stage, but not since this problem is occuring. 6. After remaining stuck at the above message for some time, it shows 'Installing from local file /tmp/tmpzjbHF5.gz' and proceeds with installation of other packages and exits.
I don't know if the new version of the plugin is installed or does it revert back to the last installed version of the plugin. I guess the link in the installer package is correct because it shows up the new package when I open the link in the browser. Also, I have no problem playing flash files in the browser like viewing videos on youtube. 'apt-cache policy flashplugin-installer' gives the following output: flashplugin-installer: Installed: 11.2.202.280ubuntu0.12.10.1 Candidate: 11.2.202.280ubuntu0.12.10.1 Version table: *** 11.2.202.280ubuntu0.12.10.1 0 500 http://us.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/ quantal-updates/multiverse amd64 Packages 500 http://security.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/ quantal-security/multiverse amd64 Packages 100 /var/lib/dpkg/status 11.2.202.243ubuntu1 0 500 http://us.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/ quantal/multiverse amd64 Packages ** Affects: flashplugin-nonfree (Ubuntu) Importance: Undecided Status: New -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1167166 Title: flashplugin-installer fails to download adobe-flashplugin To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/flashplugin-nonfree/+bug/1167166/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
