Comment 3 for bug 321200

I've a similar problem. All other packages in backport installed successfully, however the flash-plugin does not work.

When I tried to reinstall flash-plugin in Synaptic, I noticed that Synaptic attempted to download the package from Adobe, but it returned a '404 file not find' error. At the end it stated 'Package NOT installed', but the dialog box said package successfully installed; it appears the installation error was not correctly registered.

Furthermore in the package index, the hardy backport flash-plugin version number 9.0.124 is older than the version in hardy update (9.0.159)

Overall, this install failure seems to be caused by the removal of version 9.0.124 from Adobe server. As an user, I just want to install flash-plugin, without removing hardy backport repository. By the way, I'm using a x86-32 computer.
