Public bug reported:
At the 11.10 release archive.canonical.com collapsed under heavy load
and started returning 503 errors. This caused the flash package to be
unable to grab its payload and thus caused the package to fail, which in
turn caused the installation to fail.
The current plan is to add metadata to a package where it can add a URL
to retrieve its data, so ubiquity and apt-get --download-only can cache
it. We also need a way to queue up package installation post-install,
for when we commit to installing flash but cannot do so due to network
issues, or when the user wishes to have full language support post-
install.
