[Bug 460248] [NEW] flashplugin-installer can't continue downloading

[derWolf]

Public bug reported:

Binary package hint: flashplugin-installer

Requirements:
* Ubuntu 9.10
* Not very fast internet

How to reproduce
1. sudo apt-get install flashplugin-installer
2. Ctrl-C when downloading is in the middle
3. dpkg --configure -a
4. You'll see, that installer will start download from beginning

Expected: on step 4 installer should continue downloading or at least
ask a question

I'm not sure, that this will work or that you can add this ability, but
imho that can fix it:

in postinst:
		# setting wget options
		:> wgetrc
		echo "noclobber = off" >> wgetrc
		echo "dir_prefix = ." >> wgetrc
		echo "dirstruct = off" >> wgetrc
		echo "verbose = on" >> wgetrc
		echo "progress = dot:default" >> wgetrc

		# downloading the plugin
		echo "Downloading..."
+              if [ -f $FILENAME ]; then
+                echo "Continue downloading <y or n> ? \c"
+                read CONTINUE
+
+                if [ $CONTINUE = "y" ] ; then
+                  echo "continue = on" >> wgetrc
+                fi
+                if [ $CONTINUE = "n" ] ; then
+     		    rm -f $FILENAME
+                fi
+              fi
		WGETRC=wgetrc wget $PARTNER_URL \
			|| fp_exit_with_error "download failed"

I haven't tested it, because i don't know how to do it.
