Public bug reported:
Binary package hint: synaptic
When attempting to install the flashplugin-nonfree package Synaptic Packet
Manager reported that is was installed.
Check box checked, dependancies shown, file locations shown etc.
A check of the file locations through Nautilius showed other than an empty
Directory, flashplugin-nonfree, nothing had been installed into the Firefox or
Mozilla plugin directorys.
I then ran apt-get-install to install the plugin which then returned the error;
md5sum mismatch install_flash_player_9_linux.tar.gz
The Flash plugin is NOT installed.
So while apt correctly did not install the plugin due to a md5sum mismatch, the
Synaptic Packet Manager reported that it was installed,
when it should have returned a similar error as apt, then indicated that the
package was not installed.
I am running Ubuntu 7.10 and it is afresh install.
