Public bug reported: Binary package hint: flashplugin-installer
I am running a new install of Natty Narwhal. When I booted from the install disk, it offered to install over Lucid Lynx, without reformatting. I chose that option. When I go to http://www.adobe.com/software/flash/about, it reports that I am running version10,1,85,3 of the flash player. Here is the output of $ dpkg -l | grep flash ii flashplugin-installer 10.3.181.14ubuntu0.11.04.1 Adobe Flash Player plugin installer Therefore, the version reported by the Adobe website is certainly unexpected. I tried the following (with all browsers closed). It asked if I had already downloaded the install tarball; I answered no. Then, I accepted the license agreement. The output from the terminal is shown below. $ sudo dpkg-reconfigure flashplugin-installer [sudo] password for wheel: Downloading... --2011-06-05 17:06:15-- http://archive.canonical.com/pool/partner/a/adobe-flashplugin/adobe-flashplugin_10.3.181.14.orig.tar.gz Resolving archive.canonical.com... 91.189.88.33 Connecting to archive.canonical.com|91.189.88.33|:80... connected.

done. Flash Plugin installed. Given the file name that was reported as being downloaded, I expected the correct version of Flash Player to now be installed. However, a second check on the Adobe website, again shows I am running an out of date version. I also had to click a button telling Chromium to run my outdated version of Flash. Note that when using Firefox, the same outdated version of Flash is reported.
