Houston, we still have a problem. To my knowledge and belief, I have carefully followed the Official Fix instructions given in bug #173890, including apt-get clean and apt-get autoclean.
On my Gutsy system:
I have only Ubuntu repositories enabled (comment lines snipped):
root@odyssius:/home/simon# cat /etc/apt/sources.list
deb-src http://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/ gutsy restricted main #Added by software-properties
I then purge and attempt to reinstall the package:
root@odyssius:/home/simon# apt-get remove -y --purge flashplugin-nonfree

One suspects that Adobe have once again updated the package at the URL which the downloader attempts to fetch.
