Binary package hint: flashplugin-nonfree
Dapper Drake 6.06.1 , Flashplugin-nonfree (7.0.63.3ubuntu3)
The plugin doesn't install at all :
$ sudo update-flashplugin
automatic installation failed due to network problems or upstream changes
After inspecting the script, the link for tarballed plugin in adobe and rest of the links don't have the plugin anymore

Originally, I was thinking this would be a problem with the change in md5 in the flash player stuff (Bug 173890). However, the script shows otherwise.
The new link would have to be: http:// fpdownload. macromedia. com/get/ flashplayer/ installers/ archive/ fp7_archive. zip
Unfortunately, that is for all systems (including Windows and Mac), so it could mess up a part of the script
However, maybe you should try installing a newer flash player (Flash Player 9). Remove flashplugin- nonfree, and try using this package: http:// archive. ubuntu. com/ubuntu/ pool/multiverse /f/flashplugin- nonfree/ flashplugin- nonfree_ 9.0.115. 0ubuntu0. 6.06_i386. deb
You could try enabling the backports repository, but that might give you Bug 173890. So try enabling the backports repository first; if it doesn't work, remove flashplugin-nonfree and then install the package.
I hope this is of help.
