Title:
  update notifier says update failed to install even after its installed

Status in “update-notifier” package in Ubuntu:
  New

Bug description:
  Background:
  - I am behind a proxy with everything set up properly in network settings
  - Everytime there is a flashplugin update it fails to atomatically install through the update manager (separate bug *)
  - I manually install/update it by running "sudo apt-get remove flashplugin-installer && sudo apt-get install flashplugin-installer" which works fine

  Bug description:
  Even after having installed it manually an update notifier window pops up on each restart telling me it did not install properly. clicking "run this action now" opens a terminal window which gets stuck at 
  "flashplugin-installer: downloading http://archive.canonical.com/pool/partner/a/adobe-flashplugin/adobe-flashplugin_11.2.202.238.orig.tar.gz"
  it also does not stop the window from poping back up on next boot.

  *= Though I am not sure which, there are several related bugs, some of which are fixed:
  https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/flashplugin-nonfree/+bug/615786
  https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/apt/+bug/556293
  https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/sudo/+bug/982684

  I found none that is specific about update manager, should I file a
  new one? It obviously works with apt from the command line.
