Public bug reported: Binary package hint: flashplugin-nonfree
I noticed Flash wasn't working in Firefox after installing updates. I typed sudo dpkg-reconfigure flashplugin-installer in a terminal. It then tried to download http://archive.canonical.com/pool/partner/a/adobe-flashplugin/adobe-flashplugin_10.1.53.64.orig.tar.gz without making use of the configured http_proxy. I was able to wget that file successfully in the same terminal. I managed to get the package to install by hard-coding my proxy settings at line 65 of /var/lib/dpkg/info/flashplugin-installer.postinst, when it writes a temporary wgetrc file. However, the http_proxy variable was not set when that script was run.
