[Bug 1037942] Re: update notifier says update failed to install even after its installed

[Uli Tillich]

** Description changed:

  Background:
  - I am behind a proxy with everything set up properly in network settings
  - Everytime there is a flashplugin update it fails to atomatically install through the update manager (separate bug *)
  - I manually install/update it by running "sudo apt-get remove flashplugin-installer && sudo apt-get install flashplugin-installer" which works fine
  
  Bug description:
- Even after having installed it manually an update notifier window pops up on each restart telling me it did not install properly. clicking "run this action now" does not install anything or stop the window from poping back up.
- 
+ Even after having installed it manually an update notifier window pops up on each restart telling me it did not install properly. clicking "run this action now" opens a terminal window which gets stuck at 
+ "flashplugin-installer: downloading http://archive.canonical.com/pool/partner/a/adobe-flashplugin/adobe-flashplugin_11.2.202.238.orig.tar.gz"
+ it also does not stop the window from poping back up on next boot.
  
  *= Though I am not sure which, there are several related bugs, some of which are fixed:

  https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/apt/+bug/556293
  https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/sudo/+bug/982684
  
  I found none that is specific about update manager, should I file a new
  one? It obviously works with apt from the command line.
