I found out that adding "91.189.92.191 archive.canonical.com" to /etc/hosts works around the problem. For some reason the files are missing only on the server that's IP is 91.189.92.150 .

When I try to install the flashplugin- installer package (version 24.0.0.186ubuntu0.16.04.1), the post- install script tries to download the file http://archive.canonical.com/pool/partner/a/adobe-flashplugin/adobe- flashplugin_20161213.1.orig.tar.gz. However, it fails with a 404 Not Found error every time. I'm not familiar with how Ubuntu packages the Flash plugin, so I don't know what that file is supposed to be or why it's missing.
