Bug Description

The Flash plugin is NOT installed.
However, on re-attempting the upgrade it didn't report as needing upgrading:
dezza@Demetria:~$ sudo apt-get upgrade

The installer should have reported this failure back to apt so that it could be re-attempted.
Not sure if this is related to the other installation failure bugs or not, so feel free to merge if required. i did not report it under flashplugin-
If anyone else has this issue, dpkg-reconfigure flashplugin- installer managed to sort it out
