Interesting - that doesn't show up even in my Synaptic listing.  What
am I missing?

Most odd as adobe-flashplugin is in main.
On a couple of machines I've had to apt-get install adobe-flashplugin as it was originally installed using flashplugin-installer.  This un-installs flashplugin-installer so if there is a problem with the new version of the plugin you can revert to the 10.1 version with apt-get install flashplugin-installer.


$ sudo apt-get install adobe-flashplugin

Package adobe-flashplugin is not available, but is referred to by
another package.
This may mean that the package is missing, has been obsoleted, or
is only available from another source

E: Package 'adobe-flashplugin' has no installation candidate
$ apt-cache show adobe-flashplugin
N: Can't select versions from package 'adobe-flashplugin' as it purely virtual
N: No packages found

So, just for fun, I pulled down the 64-bit version from adobe.com, and
it doesn't work at all.

I like what I have - it works.
