[Bug 579667] Re: flashplugin-installer doesn't retrieve needed package "adobe-flashplugin_10.0.45.2.orig.tar.gz"

[Stuart Rossiter]

Sorry for the multiple updates but resolved this one; my bad.

It's a symptom of bug #556293
(https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/sudo/+bug/556293). http_proxy
is not getting set properly for a sudo environment (via Apply System
Wide from System-->Preferences-->Network Proxy).

So wget fails when run as  sudo under the apt-get. Confirmed via
solution as in that bug: sudo into a new shell, set http_proxy and then
do an apt-get install flashplugin-nonfree.

So i'd suggest this can be marked as a duplicate of 556293, unless
anyone is having this problem whilst NOT behind a proxy....
