Best Answer

I have the same problem with the installation of flashplugin-installer in Ubuntu 12.04. I have fixed this bug by:

  1. Adding the correct proxy in /etc/environment and /etc/wgetrc
  2. Adding the following line in /etc/sudoers:
    • Defaults env_keep="http_proxy"
  3. By installing the following:
    • sudo apt-get install policykit-1
    • sudo apt-get install ttf-mscorefonts-installer
    • sudo apt-get --reinstall install flashplugin-installer

And now the problem is solved.
