Actually the problem turned out to be that I didn't have precise-updates
and precise-backports missings from sources.list.

It was never installed to begin with, because without p-updates and p-backports
the installer pointed to a old version of the plugin which was missing
from the download site.

The biggest problem is that the flash install fails silently.
