[Bug 870643] Re: package flashplugin-downloader 11.0.1.152ubuntu1 failed to install/upgrade: wget: unable to resolve host address `archive.canonical.com'

[J Richard Miller]

my installer crashes and reports this bug as well...

In my case, and hopefully it's useful as an informative anecdote, I was
changing wifi access point horses in mid-install stream.  I believed I
had timed it after a period of package downloading as I moved from the
house wifi SSID to the mobile-tether wifi AP so I could continue the
install on the little netbook while kids were being shuttled to dentist,
practice, what-have-you.

I suspect the flash downloader balked at this sort of tweaked-out
multitasking and promptly brought the whole shebang crumbling to its
knees.

At least I like to think I did it and didn't just fumble across a rather
banal little bug that your average joe finds on a regular basis.

Hope it's helpful!
