This happens typically if your package index files are not up to date. I have the feeling that flashplugin-installer is particular sensitive to this issue, maybe because the code is dowloaded from a different site or just because it used to be updated more often than many other packages.
Can you reproduce this after running "sudo apt-get update"? P.S. Why did you want to do a reinstall? Did flash just stop working for you? I was bitten by this problem several times recently, that's why I'm browsing here. I used remove & install, not sure whether --reinstall is equivalent. But we should handle this in a separate report, several issues in the same report are bad practice. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1026858 Title: flashplugin-installer can't find adobe- flashplugin_11.2.202.233.orig.tar.gz To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/flashplugin-nonfree/+bug/1026858/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
