Cannot install flashplugin-nonfree package due to md5 checksum error

[cwong1]

When I do an apt-get install flashplugin-nonfree, it failed due to md5 checksum error.

I took a look at the flashplugin-nonfree_9.0.48.0.2+really0ubuntu12_lpia.deb file. It looks like the postinst script failed the validate the md5 checksum on the flash archive downloaded from Adobe. The reason for that is because the cmd5 cheksum in postinst was genreate from an older flash tar archive. Adobe has recently update the flash plugin.
Please update the md5 checksum in the postint file or remove the check.

Gutsy and hardy have the same problem.

I agree with cwong1, it seems to be a problem with the recent version of flash (9.0 r115)

I think it's important to be fixed soon, maybe new users don't know how to install flashplayer from a tar.

And the worst thing is that install process says "everything ok"
