--- Begin Message ---Package: flashplugin-nonfree Version: 1:3.6.1 Severity: normal Dear Maintainer, I run update-flashplugin-nonfree from time to time on several of my machines. Most are able to update-flashplugin-nonfree successfully. However one is strangely unable to query for an upstream version and therefore unable to download new versions of the nonfree flashplugin. The following output is what I see with either --status or --install options: $ sudo update-flashplugin-nonfree --verbose --install [sudo] password for bpaterni: options : --verbose --install -- temporary directory: /tmp/flashplugin-nonfree.8EdZGN33CY importing public key ... selected action = --install installed version = 11.2.202.457 failed to read https://get.adobe.com/flashplayer/ at get-upstream-version.pl line 74. cleaning up temporary directory /tmp/flashplugin-nonfree.8EdZGN33CY ...
