Bug Description

Binary package hint: flashplugin-nonfree

Just upgraded to gutsy and flash doesn't work in firefox anymore, although dpkg -l shows that flashplugin-nonfree 9.0.48.0.2+really0ubuntu12 is installed. If I try to reinstall the package it fails with the following error message:

md5sum mismatch install_flash_player_9_linux.tar.gz
The Flash plugin is NOT installed.

An updated binary archive from adobe?
