I would hazard a guess and suggest that's 11.2 Paul.
The third line begins with 11.2.202.297 and that would appear to follow 
on from the line above flashplugin-installer and it ends with a 
reference to your Ubuntu 13.04.1.

I will push for more information. Why they had to upgrade beats me - why 
can't people just leave well alone. I don't need software to make the 
coffee AND a sandwich. The coffee will do for now.  :-)
