Bug Description

Binary package hint: software-center

Without universe/multiverse enabled, the Ubuntu Software Center says "not available for your hardware architecture" when selecting Macromedia Flash for installation. See screendump.
My hardware is an atom based netbook, so 386/686, so Macromedia Flash *is* available for my hardware architecture.

After enabling universe/multiverse, installation goes OK.

IMHO, the Software Center should say that the software is available, but universe/multiverse should be enabled.

I think this bug is *not* related https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/software-center/+bug/427346

This same error is given even with universe/multiverse selected if the package indexes have not been updated on a fresh install of 9.10.

I had the same problem, but there was an update released today, and after installing the update I no longer had the problem.
