@Viktor:

Thanks for sharing your script. You must be aware that the link I
provided and that you are using points to a specific version of the
PPAPI Flash plugin (23.0.0.185). Flash plugins are very short lived; new
critical vulnerabilities will be discovered and the version 23.0.0.185
you use in your script will soon be outdated. I would recommend that
your script downloads the current version of the plugin from the
Canonical partner repository:
http://archive.canonical.com/ubuntu/pool/partner/a/adobe-flashplugin/.
The name of the file to download will change with every version but it
is manageable in a script whereas the URL used by Google Chrome cannot
be easily guessed.

Adobe only distributes the NPAPI Flash plugin for Linux on
https://get.adobe.com/fr/flashplayer/; AFAIK the PPAPI plugin is only
distributed via the Canonical partner repository. I doubt that it makes
sense for the package pepperflashplugin-nonfree to download another
package (in this case adobe-flashplugin) and extract its content. So
most probably the package pepperflashplugin-nonfree is dead.

What is your use case which requires specifically the package
pepperflashplugin-nonfree and won't work with adobe-flashplugin?
