I had the environment variable http_proxy set correctly, but sudo removes them. You can use the -E flag to sudo to preserve all environment variables. (Compare 'env', 'sudo env' and 'sudo -E env'.)

sudo -E aptitude install flashplugin-installer

worked fine for me. sudo -i ... would probably work too, if your system's environment is set up correctly.
