I would like to find the version number of Adobe Flash currently installed on my Ubuntu system. Adobe's web site says the latest version for Linux is 26.0.0.131, but if I execute
apt show adobe-flashplugin
I get
Package: adobe-flashplugin
Version: 1:20170616.1-0ubuntu0.17.04.1
[...]
but nothing like 26.0.0.131
.
How can I see which Flash version I have installed?

You can visit Adobe's homepage in your browser and use their little Flash version check widget.

Alternatively try the Check Now button at https://helpx.adobe.com/flash-player.html
I experienced that this is probably the most accurate and reliable way to check the exact version.
