What's the output from `dpkg -l flashplugin-nonfree|grep ^ii`? What does Firefox's "about:plugins" show for the Flash plugin?

Thank you for taking the time to report this bug and helping to make Ubuntu better. Unfortunately we can't fix it, because your description didn't include enough information.
1) Did the Flash Player 'itself' stop working?
2) What browser are you using and what version?
3) Are you trying to download and install the flashplugin-nonfree?
4) Have you tried reinstalling flashplugin-nonfree?

I have 3 machines running Kubuntu on my primary and Xubuntu on the others all using Firefox 2, so far I can't verify this bug since flash is working just fine.

4. Reinstalled - restarted - doesn't help.
Appearently the installation of the plugin fails because it complains about a md5mismatch in the downloaded tar.gz
