Bug Description
Binary package hint: apt
I was upgrading my PC :-
ran apt-get dist-upgrade
output :-

download failed
The Flash plugin is NOT installed.
<snip>
When I reran apt-get dist-upgrade, there were no packages listed.
which means, that flash is not really upgraded but marked as upgraded, resulting in false sense of security or inexplicable problems which you think have been resolved thru the upgrade
I should say, I appreciate that I did not have network connectivity in the first run of apt dist-upgrade, but was connected to the net for the 2nd run (which gave a false result)
