I came the upgrade path 9.10 -> 10.04 and flash was not working. so I tried to remove and reinstall the flashplugin-nonfree package. Removing did not work, I used the workaround in Bug 429841 .
When trying to install I hit this bug. The workaround is easy in a terminal:
> sudo su
# mkdir /var/cache/ flashplugin- installer
(Or open a root terminal and skip the first step) Then you can install the package.
