Cannot install flash player from Adobe's home page

[David Henningsson]

Binary package hint: flashplugin-nonfree

When trying to install the Flash plugin from http://get.adobe.com/flashplayer/
I select "apt for Ubuntu 9.04+". I am then asked to enable the lucid-partner repo, but after having OK'ed that, an error dialog pops up, saying (translated to English) 'Package "adobe-flashplugin" is virtual.' and the plugin is not installed.

Moving to adobe-flashplugin as that's the source for the partner repo package.

The same on lucid.

I am setting this old bug to expire, seeing how it concerns ancient releases and how Flash plugin support has improved since it was reported.

The Flash plugin can be installed and kept up-to-date via the flashplugin-installer package in the multiverse repository (NPAPI version) or via the adobe-flashplugin package in Canonical's partner repository (NPAPI and PPAPI versions, recommended). It is currently version 25.0.

Please report problems here, or in another bug report, whichever is more appropriate.
