Title: apt-helper crashed with SIGABRT in __gnu_cxx::__verbose_terminate_handler() Status in apt package in Ubuntu: Triaged Bug description: After installing flashplugin-installer I get a prompt noting: [START] Failure to download extra data files The following packages requested additional data downloads after package installation, but the data could not be downloaded or could not be processed. flashplugin-installer The download will be attempted again later, or you can try the download again now. Running this command requires an active Internet connection. [END] Clicking the button Run this action now causes this crash consistently. Unfortunately, this has the negative outcome of disallowing folks who use Firefox from being able to update, or install Flash. There are a fair number of these events logged in errors.ubuntu.com. WORKAROUND: Use Google Chrome/Chromium with pepper flash.
