Hi Nick, and thank you for your report. I took a look at your logs attached above and I see the following line at the very end:

Failed to fetch http://security.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/pool/multiverse/f/flashplugin-nonfree/flashplugin-installer_11.1.102.62ubuntu0.11.10.2_i386.deb 404 Not Found [IP: 91.189.92.166 80]
'

This seems to indicate that there was indeed a network error, and hopefully this was a temporary condition. Could you please let us know if you are still experiencing this problem?

Also, please update your machine if have not recently.

Please be sure to let us know how you fare, either way. If the problem is gone, we can close this, otherwise, we can move forward with debugging your issue.

Thanks very much for your help!

Hi Nick, actually, please check bug 986929 for more information on this problem and for some advice for resolving issues like this. I'll set this one as a duplicate of that one.

Thank you again!
