Package: flashplugin-installer 10.0.22.87ubuntu2
SourcePackage: flashplugin-nonfree

can you retry? i would think its a network issue somewhere between you and the archive we use for downloading the bits.

[daigoro (daigorocub)]

Jesus! You actually respond to the bugs? How efficient!

Anyway, you are correct. It was some kind of network problem. Later in the
same day I installed something else and the installer picked up the flash
plugin package again and it worked fine, went until the end pretty fast.

Congratulations on your efficiency!
