First try to install Flash Player

Step 2
Sudo nano/var/lib/dpkg/info/flashplugin-nonfree.postinst

Step 3:

# Verify MD5 checksum of (copied or downloaded) tarball
Rm-rf install_flash_player_9_linux/
Echo "821cc72359a937caef85bb4cc74ef5cd install_flash_player_9_linux.tar.gz" | md5sum-c>/dev/null 2> & 1 \
| Fp_exit_with_error "md5sum mismatch install_flash_player_9_linux.tar.gz"

# Unpacking and checking the plugin
Tar xzf install_flash_player_9_linux.tar.gz | fp_exit_with_error "cannot unpack plugin"
Echo "be5a2f9032f8fc8bccbbf5d96c5028f9 install_flash_player_9_linux/libflashplayer. so" | md5sum-c>/dev/null 2> & 1 \
| Fp_exit_with_error "plugin changed, not trusted"
Echo "a81fd3b03b8c6d6e5a14298110718d3f install_flash_player_9_linux/flashplayer. xpt" | md5sum-c>/dev/null 2> & 1 \

# Unpacking and checking the plugin
Tar xzf install_flash_player_9_linux.tar.gz | fp_exit_with_error "cannot unpack plugin"
# Echo "a81fd3b03b8c6d6e5a14298110718d3f install_flash_player_9_linux/flashplayer. xpt" | md5sum-c>/dev/$
# Echo "13ce705df5d47422a9192b29827544e8 install_flash_player_9_linux/libflashplayer. so" | md5sum-c>/de $
