I made a fresh install of 9.04 final, and in setting up, downloaded Adobe flash. I keep getting error message, "Error dependency not satisfied Libcurl3" and flash will not install. Tried deleting cache, sudo apt-get autoremove, autoclean and downloaded again but with same results. Suggestions or is this a bug?

Did you downloaded flash from the adobe website?

Because if you downloaded it from the Ubuntu repo, that shouldn't be happening.

I am brand new to Ubuntu and I received the same error, just after installing Ubuntu and trying to install the plugin from Adobe site.
How do i do "sudo apt-get ..." and/or where is thre Ubuntu repo site?

You use your terminal to do just that. Click on Applications > Accessories > Terminal. After you're in the terminal, type sudo apt-get install libcurl3 . You'll be asked for a password when you do this.

If the package could not be found, try sudo apt-get update first.

I'd just go to terminal and:


sudo apt-get install ubuntu-restricted-extras

Of course substitute kubuntu or xubuntu with ubuntu if that's what you're running.

Then you'll have to restart Firefox.

This is so easy, when you know how.

http://get.adobe.com/flashplayer/

From the drop down select the deb version.

Download to your desktop.

Then just double click the deb file to install.

Edit:- Or the above post will get you flash from the ubuntu repos too.
Click the restricted formats link below for info.
