The problem appears to be an inconsistency between the config file and the postinst. I'm unsure what the intended behavior is, but the config file checks for the filename and sha256sum of the upstream tarball from adobe which is install_flash_player_10_linux.tar.gz" If that's not found, then it complains that it can't find the upstream tarball. However, the postinst proceeds assuming that the file you downloaded is the one from archive.canonical.com, which is adobe- flashplugin_10.0.45.2.orig.tar.gz and has a different checksum. In fact, it appears that the only way to fool it is to download both those files into /var/cache/flashplugin-nonfree.
I can easily write a patch to make the control file expect the file from archive.canonical rather than the upstream tarball. To make the postinst deal with the upstream tarball rather than the canonical package would be a bit more tricky. It would be nice to have confirmation from the package maintainer what the expected behavior is supposed to be. ** Tags added: glucid -- flashplugin-installer: local downloaded package not found https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/522818 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
