package flashplugin-installer 10.0.42.34ubuntu0.9.10.1 failed to install/upgrade: subprocess installed post-installation script locks on download

[Brad Krause]

Binary package hint: flashplugin-nonfree

Download hangs multiple times on both real and virtual machines. Once it succeeds on a given day, any other system that tries to install the package will be able to. It is not related to poor Internet connectivity. A manual break (ctrl-c) must be issued and the command restarted.
