Bug Description

Binary package hint: gnome-app-install

Running 8.04 Hardy Heron / Alpha4 with all updates until today (2008-02-02).

In gnome-app-install, I'm able to *find* Macromeda Flash plugin. However, it's not possible to *select* the package; I can't check the check box.

Other pacakagers are OK as they can be selected.
No output seen when running from xterm / CLI.

Workaround:

"sudo apt-get install flashplugin-nonfree" from xterm / CLI

Out of curiosity:

Was the bug already known, or was it new?

And what was the root cause of the curious behaviour?

The bug was not known yet and this report helped fixing it :) The problem was that the app-install-data-ubuntu information wasn't updated when the amd64 version of the flash plugin became availabe.
