** Summary changed:

- Install in Ubuntu 16.10: error the public key is not available
+ Package is not installable in Ubuntu 16.10 since Google stopped shipping 
Flash with Chrome 54 for Linux. Workaround to get Flash in Yandex Browser.

** Description changed:

+ [bug description]
+ 
+ pepperflashplugin-nonfree is broken since Google stopped shipping Flash
+ with Chrome 54 for Linux (bug 1632870). Installing it used to result in
+ the PPAPI Flash plugin libpepflashplayer.so being installed in /usr/lib
+ /pepperflashplugin-nonfree/, but it is no longer the case.
+ 
+ Consequently, browsers that look in this directory for the PPAPI Flash
+ plugin, such as Yandex Browser, don't find it.
+ 
+ Until they are updated to look in other directories where the plugin may
+ be (e.g. /usr/lib/adobe-flashplugin, where the adobe-flashplugin package
+ puts it), see workarounds in comment 7 and comment 8.
