Binary package hint: adobe-flashplugin

I am using Ubuntu 10.04 LTS - the Lucid Lynx - released in April 2010 and supported until April 2013.

Package Version:-
adobe-flashplugin:
  Installed: 10.0.45.2-1lucid1
  Candidate: 10.0.45.2-1lucid1
  Version table:
 *** 10.0.45.2-1lucid1 0
        500 http://archive.canonical.com/ubuntu/ lucid/partner Packages
        100 /var/lib/dpkg/status

I was updating with the default UI -Update manager when I got this error in between.

I expected the update to happen without any errors and then ask me for restarting the system.
