Bug Description
Binary package hint: firefox
I have a fresh Gutsy install. When I try to install Macromedia Flash through Firefox's built-in installer, it reports that it was succesfully installed, but after restart it offers to install flash plugin again. If I choose Gnash, it installs and then flash movies are replaced with simple grey areas.

I _think_ this is because a new Flash version has just been released.
Purging flashplugin- nonfree, and then installing again reveals this:

md5sum mismatch install_
The Flash plugin is NOT installed.

Notice the md5sum mismatch, and the note that "The Flash plugin is NOT installed."
Would this problem be fixed by upgrading the md5sum?
