package flashplugin-installer (not installed) failed to install/upgrade:

[John Smith]

Binary package hint: flashplugin-nonfree

Upgrading from Ubuntu 8.04 LTS to Ubuntu 10.4 LTS generated errors regarding the lack of install scripts for the flash-plugin for Firefox.

I was sent to Launchpad from the error process. Note that the Launchpad account creation is in my opinion flawed in requiring that you be able to log into your email through the browser. Not all email accounts are web enabled. Luckily for me and thus for you mine is.
