Adobe flash player could not be installed from Software centre

[drpjkurian]

Hi
Today after regular system updates I received a following message when I opened a flash required webpage in Firefox "install latest version of adobe flash plugin"

I went to the software centre. It was showing as already installed. So I reinstalled it. On reinstalling it was showing a message that plugin is not available in the archive therefore could not be installed.

i manually tried to access the archive and got 'page could not be found'


Not Found

The requested URL /pool/partner/a/adobe-flashplugin/adobe-flashplugin_11.2.202.243.orig.tar.gz was not found on this server.
Apache/2.2.14 (Ubuntu) Server at archive.canonical.com Port 80

My question is why is it so?
If it is an error where am i supposed to report?

well I installed the flash plugin directly from adobe website..

Please enlighten me

Adobe Flash is no longer supported by Adobe. New released will not be made available for Linux. Adobe will only maintain Security updates for Linux.

Best is to install the flashplugin-installer which is also available in the repositories.

My point is flash plugin installer is NOT available in the repositories as it meant to be

There was some sort of problem with installing the flash plugin installer update today. Quite a few people reported but it seems to have been sorted out.
