I just did an upgrade from Intrepid to Jaunty and have the same problem.

I spotted this in the output from update-manager:

The Flash plugin is NOT installed.


As others have reported, NetworkManager stopped working for a large part of the 
install and dropped my _wired_ ethernet connection.  NM started working again 
towards the end, after "Setting up flashplugin-installer".

The NetworkManager problem isn't a flashplugin bug.

But flashplugin not being able to fix itself when the network comes back
would be best fixed in flashplugin.  After all, there might be other
reasons why the network is down at that exact moment.

Some ideas:

   - Can it tell dpkg that setup failed and needs to be run again after
everything else?

   - Can it use a trigger on the upgrade of NM, or a generic trigger on
network change?

   - If fetching fails during upgrade, can it attempt to fetch the file
the next time Firefox is started?  This would be quite robust.

Also, earlier comments say that uninstalling without --purge then
reinstallng does not fix it.  --purge shouldn't be necessary, just to
trigger fetching the file it needs which it hasn't installed yet.
