Sorry I didn't finish properly.

I'm running sarge. The during installation aptitude and 
update-flashplugin report:

   Setting up flashplugin-nonfree (7.0.25-5) ...
   I: checking http://macromedis.rediris.es/tarball/debian/ ...
   No new version is detected. ( = Not installed)

And the actual plugin file isn't on the machine anywhere.


I'm mystified because I got this working fine a couple of weeks ago on a 
similar machine.
Can anyone please advise?
