> Title:
>  [FFe] [MASTER] We need to better handle external payloads (Flash,
>  msttcorefonts) not being available.
>
> Status in Adobe Flash Plugin Tools:
>   Confirmed
> Status in “flashplugin-nonfree” package in Ubuntu:
>  Fix Released
> Status in “msttcorefonts” package in Ubuntu:
>  Fix Released
> Status in “update-notifier” package in Ubuntu:
>  Fix Released
>
> Bug description:
>  At the 11.10 release archive.canonical.com collapsed under heavy load
>  and started returning 503 errors.  This caused the flash package to be
>  unable to grab its payload and thus caused the package to fail, which
>  in turn caused the installation to fail.
>
>  The current plan is to add metadata to a package where it can add a
>  URL to retrieve its data, so ubiquity and apt-get --download-only can
>  cache it.  We also need a way to queue up package installation post-
>  install, for when we commit to installing flash but cannot do so due
>  to network issues, or when the user wishes to have full language
>  support post-install.
>
>  This change requires a freeze exception for precise, as it involves
>  adding new features to update-notifier and significant reworking of
>  the maintainer scripts for the affected packages.  It also introduces
>  new UI components; however these UI components are only visible in the
>  event of a failure, so I don't think we should block on UI freeze for
>  making this change given the significant benefit to the install
>  experience when a download fails.
