viyyer: the situation is somewhat complex.  Please read the notes in the
bug description.  If none of the hints there solve the problem for you
then please supply the information which is being requested up there
(where "up" refers to the top of the Launchpad web page where this bug
lives; you could of course be reading this in email or somewhere).

1. The fix for Adobe's upgrade to 9.0.115.0 is released.  In order to
get the fixed version you need to have the right repository.  Again,
please refer to the bug description.

2. If you ran the erroneous flashplugin-nonfree package then some of the
files it left behind might be confusing the fixed version.  Again,
please refer to the bug description for hints and pointers.

3. If Adobe releases a new upgrade which replaces 9.0.115.0 then we will
have this situation again, but there should probably be a separate bug
about that if and when it happens.

Eventually, if and when bug #175255 is fixed, case 2. should no longer
apply.

Ultimately, wouldn't it be nice if case 3. could also be prevented from
happening any longer in the future.  I may be confused but I believe the
"metabug" tag on this bug means it is still the proper place for further
discussion for this case.  If not, could someone please update the bug
description with a pointer to the proper bug for that, too.

Tangentially, the "Fix Released" doesn't apply to Dapper and Edgy, so
for those parts, this bug is still open (at least for considering a
backport to those releases).
