Flash installer fails if there is network.

[Nerdopolis]

Binary package hint: flashplugin-nonfree

It seems that when there is no network connectivity when upgrades are running, (and all the packages have been downloaded), the flash player installer uninstalls the previous version of flash, and then tries to download the new one, seemingly from a different server.

If it can't, it quickly dumps some output to the terminal, and the upgrade continues.

When a web page with flash is loaded, firefox asks to install flash, but the agent reports that the flash package is already installed

This kind of breaks the usage of apt-get dist-upgrade -d...
