Actually, this symptom is due to debian/{config,postinst} both being *utterly* broken in behaviour.
In debian/postinst, after the plugin is downloaded and/or installed for the first time, the debconf "httpget" variable is forcibly set to false, which will fail the license agreement query, and hence, the reporter's symptom is exhibited. debian/config is utterly out of date, still uses md5sums, and attempts to store an invalid/outdated directory into the debconf "local" variable. ** Changed in: flashplugin-nonfree (Ubuntu) Status: Incomplete => Triaged ** Summary changed: - dpkg-reconfigure flashplugin-nonfree deprecated in 2.6.28-4.9 + debian/{config,postinst} are both broken for dpkg-reconfigure -- debian/{config,postinst} are both broken for dpkg-reconfigure https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/314637 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
