[Bug 409119] Re: Configuration of flashplugin-installer succeeds even when download fails

I had a similar problem today in maverick with the latest flash plugin
update:

download failed
The Flash plugin is NOT installed.

The download failed for some other reason, and at least the previous flash version with the security hole has been removed.
However the package is considered as installed by apt/dpkg and in order to have a working flash plugin again the user has to either:
 - purge and reinstall the package
 - run "dpkg-reconfigure flashplugin-installer"
