Comment 10 for bug 218597

Hi,
  I had already tried that and it works, that is not the issue, but
appreciate your advise.

have you tried :-
down grade your flash
apt-get -dy dist-upgrade
/etc/init.d/network stop
apt-get dist-upgrade

from what I understand :-
The file flashplugin-nonfree.postinst contains "set -e"
which means if the wget fails the script finishes, which presumable is the
end of that, right?
only flash has not been downloaded and installed.

which means and pkg which runs a post script to download and install
something, can not be relied on to work as expected, if the network fails
