Cannot install flashplugin-nonfree

Binary package hint: flashplugin-nonfree

Hi,

I am using Ubuntu 8.04. For the last three days, I have been trying to install flashplugin-nonfree (via Synaptic), but couldn't. It seems like the tarball location has changed or it is no longer available.

Yes, it is. Didn't notice that bug. Sorry for the noise.
