As a workaround, add an entry in /etc/hosts for
fpdownload.macromedia.com to a webserver you control. Then, download
install_flash_player_9_linux.tar.gz to a directory under your webserver
root to satisfy the package's wget command:

http://<Your-Webserver-
Here>/get/flashplayer/current/install_flash_player_9_linux.tar.gz

Not quite as simple as aluink's solution (and certainly not adequate for
any mothers out there ;) but results in a "cleaner"  fix.
