Title:
  [FFe] [MASTER] We need to better handle external payloads (Flash,
  msttcorefonts) not being available.

Status in Adobe Flash Plugin Tools:
  Confirmed
Status in “flashplugin-nonfree” package in Ubuntu:
  Fix Released
Status in “msttcorefonts” package in Ubuntu:
  Fix Released
Status in “update-notifier” package in Ubuntu:
  Fix Released

Bug description:
  At the 11.10 release archive.canonical.com collapsed under heavy load
  and started returning 503 errors.  This caused the flash package to be
  unable to grab its payload and thus caused the package to fail, which
  in turn caused the installation to fail.

  The current plan is to add metadata to a package where it can add a
  URL to retrieve its data, so ubiquity and apt-get --download-only can
  cache it.  We also need a way to queue up package installation post-
  install, for when we commit to installing flash but cannot do so due
  to network issues, or when the user wishes to have full language
  support post-install.

  This change requires a freeze exception for precise, as it involves
  adding new features to update-notifier and significant reworking of
  the maintainer scripts for the affected packages.  It also introduces
  new UI components; however these UI components are only visible in the
  event of a failure, so I don't think we should block on UI freeze for
  making this change given the significant benefit to the install
  experience when a download fails.
