Even if it should work for the current version of flashplayer at the
moment, wine seems to be unreliable.

Could be a transient problem with update? Occasionally a sources.list
entry references a wrong file or a misspelled server name. The
maintainers are very quick to fix errors, but sometimes if you hit it at
the wrong time, you don't get a complete list. Rare but possible.

1. It is available for all supported Ubuntu releases.
   
http://packages.ubuntu.com/search?suite=yakkety=names=flashplugin-installer
   https://get.adobe.com/flashplayer/otherversions/

2. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Adobe_Flash_Player#Desktop_platforms
   Why do you want to install such an old and useless version of flash
   player?
   For what purpose?

If you seriously will still use Flash crap, something nobody should do,
then do yourself a favour and use Chrome.

https://chromium.googlesource.com/chromium/src/+/master/docs/chromium_browser_vs_google_chrome.md

Usually HTML5 should do the job, only crap requires a dead dino. It's a
PITA that flash isn't completely dead, just a living dead.

Ralf
