Title:
  Adobe flashplugin install via Firefox fails - "Package 'flashplugin-
  installer' is virtual"

Status in flashplugin-nonfree package in Ubuntu:
  Invalid

Bug description:
  Firefox's plugin finder service gives a nice dialog for choosing to
  install either the nonfree Adobe flash plugin or the free gnash flash
  plugin. However, trying to install the Adobe flash plugin fails with
  the error message: "Package 'flashplugin-installer' is virtual".

  Trying to install the Adobe Flash plugin via the Ubuntu Software
  Center works fine though.
