This error could be required additional software packages which are missing or not installable.Furthermore there could be a conflict between software packages which are not allowed to be installed at the same time.

In Ubuntu software center>edit>software repositories and be sure you have universe and multiverse repositories enabled.After that close and run


sudo apt-get update

I think it will be good to install synaptic package manager.


sudo apt-get install synaptic

Then in synaptic search box type flashplugin-installer and when you find it install it.I hope that is all you will have to do.

If zvacet solution does not work, try installing it in terminal. This will give you a detailed error report to help troubleshoot the problem.

sudo apt-get install flashplugin-installer

Two things to try ..

sudo apt-get install -f

If thats a no go, libnspr4-0d should be part of a bigger package which should be installed anyhow. It contains restricted video formats.
