[Bug 314637] Re: debian/{config, postinst} are both broken for dpkg-reconfigure

[Scott Wegner]

Thanks for the tip George.  I was also having trouble getting
flashplugin-nonfree actually installed.  Kept getting the "download or
license refused".  Per your hints, here are the steps I took to get it
installed:

1) sudo dpkg-reconfigure debconf
   -- Selected GNOME frontend and "medium", although I imagine any settings would work
2) sudo rm -rf /var/cache/flashplugin-nonfree
   -- I'm not really sure if this step was necessary, but it removed the local cached version which may have been causing trouble
3) sudo aptitude reinstall flashplugin-nonfree
   -- Make sure the path to the local version is blank
   -- Accept the license
   -- Repeat

Afterwards, I could see in the terminal the the plugin was truely being
downloaded from Adobe, and Flash is now working once again.
