Failure to download extra data files

[Andrei Emeltchenko]

flushplugin is failing to download data files. I see the strange message below:

The following packages requested additional data downloads after package installation, but the data could not be downloaded or could not be processed.

flashplugin-installer

The download will be attempted again later, or you can try the download again now. Running this command requires an active Internet connection.

Status changed to 'Confirmed' because the bug affects multiple users.

In my case, if I press button "execute action now", I can see a console trying to download file:
http://archive.canonical.com/pool/partner/a/adobe-flashplugin/adobe-flashplugin_11.2.202.233.orig.tar.gz
However, only adobe-flashplugin_11.2.202.228.orig.tar.gz and adobe-flashplugin_11.2.202.235.orig.tar.gz exists.

is there any workaround?

i still get that message every systemstart although i have

sudo apt-get remove --purge ttf-mscorefonts-installer ubuntu-restricted-extras flashplugin-installer

still the message

really strange

[rubo77 (rubo77)]

since i use kubuntu, gksudo is missing when trying to download the missing files.

that's the bug!!

workaround:
i solved it with a symlink:

 ln -s /usr/bin/kdesudo /usr/bin/gksudo
