Title:
  Fail when installing afobe flash on amd64

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

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.
