Binary package hint: flashplugin-nonfree
After really wanting to see a web page that uses flash in Firefox I clicked the "Install Missing Plugins..." button and chose the Adobe flash player (because the others don't really work in practice, do they?). After entering my password to allow the system to install the package flashplugin-installer, it reported "Successfully applied all changes. You can close the window now." When revealing the details in the dialog, however, the picture is less clear:
wget: unable to resolve host address `archive.canonical.com'
download failed
The falsh plugin is NOT installed.
Of course only serious bug hunters click the the "Details" button... Most users would wonder why on earth flash isn't working when they were told that it installed successfully.
I'm aware that since Adobe only allows limited distribution of flash through 3rd parties, flashplugin-installer uses apt in a convoluted way to download the actual files only during package configuration. The problem here is that the configuration reports success even if it really fails.
There are a few similar bug reports, but they never ended up going anywhere so I figured I'd better file a new report with updated (and English) information.
