Thanks for your report.

The error is:
dpkg: regarding .../flashplugin-nonfree_10.0.12.10ubuntu1_amd64.deb containing flashplugin-nonfree:
 adobe-flashplugin conflicts with flashplugin-nonfree
  flashplugin-nonfree (version 10.0.12.10ubuntu1) is to be installed.
dpkg: error processing /var/cache/apt/archives/flashplugin-nonfree_10.0.12.10ubuntu1_amd64.deb (--unpack):
 conflicting packages - not installing flashplugin-nonfree

adobe-flashplugin is not a supported package.

Can you please remove adobe-flashplugin and retry ?

Thanks in advance.

This bug is legitimate. In debian/control, flashplugin-nonfree needs to Conflicts adobe-flashplugin.

[Alexander Sack (asac)]

this is not a bug in the multiverse package, but in adobe-flashplugin. it shouldnt conflict on flashplugin-nonfree.

Technically there is no reason to conflict on it.

Sorry, I meant that adobe-flashplugin should Conflicts+Replaces flashplugin-nonfree.
