[Bug 475573] Re: package flashplugin-installer (not installed) failed to install/upgrade: subprocess installed post-installation script killed by signal (Interrupt)

[Benji]

I can confirm that the flashplugin-installer hangs while downloading from the partner repository (http://archive.canonical.com/pool/partner/a/adobe-flashplugin/)
The installer hangs at random states, sometimes even at 99% most annoyingly. I've had this issue with different versions of Ubuntu, and am currently having this issue with Karmic.

"Errors were encountered while processing:

In the past I just kept trying until the download finished, usually
after quite a few tries, I've tried 5 times so far.

I'm wondering if this is a bug, or just a problem with any kind of
connection interruptions that hang the installer. Apt-get/synaptic is
usually more reliable for resuming and finishing downloads even if it
was interrupted for a few minutes. The flash-plugin installer hangs
indefinately.
