When I want to worke with the software manager I get the this messig "Es ist ein unerwarteter Fehler aufgetreten bitte melden Sie das Problem mit der Fehlerbeschreibung. Details: Error Type: Error Value: E:The package adobe-flashplugin needs to be reinstalled, but I can't find an archive for it.

If you want, you can try the Debian version of PackageKit (but please wait a little until rev2 of the package which will bring some important improvements)
