[Bug 815118] Re: Fail when installing afobe flash on amd64

[Timothy]

The latest version of Chrome is 12, and if installed from the Google
website, should auto-update (I'm not sure about the version in the
default repositories). Software center will attempt to handle any apt://
requests, however Adobe is referring to a package that is not in your
repositories and that is what is triggering the problem.

To see if this affects all packages (which would be a bug) can you
please attempt to install a package that is in the repositories from
your web browser using apt://<insert valid package name here> and then
tell us whether that fails or not.

Can you please also find out the exact name of the package that the
Adobe website is trying to install via apt?

Title:
  Fail when installing afobe flash on amd64

Status in “software-center” package in Ubuntu:
  Incomplete

Bug description:
  I try to install adobe flash from Adobe's website. The APT install is
  intercepted by Ubuntu software centre, but that then tells me that
  'there isn't a current software package called "Adobe flashplugin" in
  your current software sources.'

  Clearly, I should be trying to install the correct 64 bit beta version
  instead, but USC isn't helping to make this any more obvious. The
  reason I am installing it is that Chrome doesn't seem to have flash
  working any more after my recent upgrade.
