I tried the same yesterday. The package does not include the plugin but
downloads it from Adobe?. The md5 checksum of the download is wrong and
as a result the download will not be installed. But the package itself
is installed if you understand what I mean. As far as I understood the
package is only a small script to download the flashplugin. As something
goes wrong with that download the plugin is not installed.
