The reason for this bug is that Google has stopped shipping the PPAPI
Flash plugin (libpepflashplayer.so) with Chrome, starting with Chrome
54, released a few days ago. See bug 1632870.

This is why libpepflashplayer.so is no longer found in the download of
Chrome 54 that is made when you install pepperflashplugin-nonfree for
the first time, or when you sudo update-pepperflashplugin-nonfree
--install.

This bug could be fixed in Debian, since pepperflashplugin-nonfree is a
Debian package, by using Adobe's website instead of Google Chrome as the
source for the PPAPI Flash plugin. I don't know if the Debian maintainer
(who I subscribe to this bug) will do so, but if they do, it's unlikely
that a fixed package will land in Ubuntu before Zesty.

Ubuntu users shouldn't use pepperflashplugin-nonfree as their source for
the PPAPI Flash plugin anyway, but adobe-flashplugin from Canonical's
partner repository: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Chromium/Getting-Flash.
