The reason for this bug is that Google has stopped shipping the PPAPI Flash plugin (libpepflashplayer.so) with Chrome, starting with Chrome 54, released a few days ago. See bug 1632870.

This is why libpepflashplayer.so is no longer found in the download of Chrome 54 that is made when you install pepperflashplugin-nonfree for the first time, or when you sudo update-pepperflashplugin-nonfree --install.

This bug could be fixed in Debian, since pepperflashplugin-nonfree is a Debian package, by using Adobe's website instead of Google Chrome as the source for the PPAPI Flash plugin. I don't know if the Debian maintainer (who I subscribe to this bug) will do so, but if they do, it's unlikely that a fixed package will land in Ubuntu before Zesty.

Ubuntu users shouldn't use pepperflashplugin-nonfree as their source for the PPAPI Flash plugin anyway, but adobe-flashplugin from Canonical's partner repository: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Chromium/Getting-Flash.

Bug fixed in Debian Sid and Ubuntu Zesty, pepperflashplugin-nonfree version 1.8.3+nmu1ubuntu1. See bug 1632870 comment 34.

Pepperflashplugin-nonfree is still not recommended over adobe-flashplugin though.
