That is really strange.  I can purge the package and install it
repeated with no problems.  I do not see any errors from it.

If you are motivated the update-flashplugin-nonfree is a script and
may be viewed and debugged fairly easily.  It might take a little bit
of effort but it isn't too hard.  I start with something like this:

  sh -x /usr/sbin/update-flashplugin-nonfree --install 2>&1 | tee /tmp/fp.out

Then I look through the output and the script side by side.

You are root with uid=0 and gid=0 so that is good and root won't have
any permission problems.

That is an okay PATH.  The X11R6 part is typical for Squeeze but is
dropped in Wheezy.  It was used in the older X Window System.  All
okay.  I had asked about PATH since in Wheezy the sudo PATH
configuration changes and the change has caused some trouble with
missing directories.  The above is good.
