[Bug 939197] [NEW] Adobe flashplugin install via Firefox fails - "Package 'flashplugin-installer' is virtual"

[Linus Lüssing]

Public bug reported:

Firefox's plugin finder service gives a nice dialog for choosing to
install either the nonfree Adobe flash plugin or the free gnash flash
plugin. However, trying to install the Adobe flash plugin fails with the
error message: "Package 'flashplugin-installer' is virtual".

Trying to install the Adobe Flash plugin via the Ubuntu Software Center
works fine though.
