[Bug 231915] [NEW] Can't install flashplugin-nonfree

[Malte S. Stretz]

Public bug reported:

There seems to be a weird bug in the flashplugin-nonfree package (on
x86). Its available in multiverse but if I try to install it, apt
complains that its not.

It is possible to install it via aptitude by going to the package
details and chosing 9.0.124.0ubuntu2 from the Versions list but then
adept_updater starts to complain that it wants to update the package
(which it can't do).
