Once the synaptic Starts and click on Reload option and then search “flashplugin installer”.
Flash play is out dated in 15.04 and in synaptic. how do we install the latest version ?
Open the synaptic and Click on ‘Relaod’ option to refresh the repository then search “flashplugin installer” and marked it for upgrade
Hope Above Steps will resolve the issue.

Raj ,
Refresh your system repository by reloading them, Click on Reload option in Synaptic Package Manager and then search “flashplugin installer” and marked it for upgrade and then click on apply
This doesn’t work for me. I’ve tried a dozen different ways to install flash, including the adobe instructions in the readme (extract, copy into /usr/lib/adobe-flashplugin/) and NOTHING is working. Flash is still not installed. (Oh and I’ve enabled flash in Chromium, so that’s not the issue either.)
