Package adobe-flashplugin is not available, but is referred to by
another package.
This may mean that the package is missing, has been obsoleted, or
is only available from another source

E: Package 'adobe-flashplugin' has no installation candidate
$ apt-cache show adobe-flashplugin
N: Can't select versions from package 'adobe-flashplugin' as it purely virtual
N: No packages found

So, just for fun, I pulled down the 64-bit version from adobe.com, and
it doesn't work at all.

I like what I have - it works.
