[Bug 139138] Re: [gutsy] flash plugin reported as installed when it actually failed

[Michael DePaulo]

** Summary changed:

- [gutsy] flash plugin reported as installed when it failed because apt already open
+ [gutsy] flash plugin reported as installed when it actually failed

** Description changed:

  System:
  gutsy x64 from Sept 12th
  firefox 2.0.0.6+0ubuntu3
+ 
+ There are a number of reasons why the adobe flash plugin (flashplugin-
+ nonfree) will not install, but here is the easiest way to reproduce it
+ failing:
  
  Open up an aptitude-based program like synaptic. Then browse to a flash
  animation in firefox and click on the prompt to install flash player. It
  will fail to install because of the apt-based program already being
  opened. Yet it will then report it as a being installed successfully.
  
  This is a minor bug because it is not a bug that breaks functionality,
  but rather misinforms the user.
