Bug Description

Binary package hint: flashplugin-installer

After updating to the latest version of flash via the software updates featuer of KPackageKit I started getting a missing plugin warning when I tried to view any flash content on the web. Subsequent investigation revealed that there was no longer a libflashplugin.so on my system, and that no such file appears in the package list at http://packages.ubuntu.com/maverick/amd64/flashplugin-installer/filelist
