[Bug 173890] Re: flashplugin-nonfree fails to install due to md5sum mismatch

[Simon Dalley]

Houston, we still have a problem. To my knowledge and belief, I have
carefully followed the Official Fix instructions given in bug #173890,
including apt-get clean and apt-get autoclean.

On my Gutsy system:

I have only Ubuntu repositories enabled (comment lines snipped):

I then purge and attempt to reinstall the package:

  md5sum mismatch install_flash_player_9_linux.tar.gz
  The Flash plugin is NOT installed.

The package policy is:
  root at odyssius:/home/simon# apt-cache policy flashplugin-nonfree
  flashplugin-nonfree:
    Installed: 9.0.48.0.2+really0ubuntu12.2
    Candidate: 9.0.48.0.2+really0ubuntu12.2
    Version table:

One suspects that Adobe have once again updated the package at the URL
which the downloader attempts to fetch.
