flashplugin-installer annoying message

[mastablasta]

i keep getting this message even after removal and reinstall. it doesn't seem like it's not working (i can play BBC and youtube videos), so the message is really an unnecessary annoyance. anyone knows how to get rid of it?

How did you install flashplugin?

[mastablasta]

at first it was installed along with restricted-extras but then wheni tried to resolve this i removed it an instaleld it speratelly only the flashplugin-installer package using apt-get in cli.

the flashplugin installer is trying to download flash, and can't - wherever third party site it is downloading from is down or overloaded. Uninstall the flashplugin-installer package and try again later.

Youtube and BBC use html5, so flash is not required.

i get this message when i try to install it:

Firefox disagrees with you:

try apt-get purge flashplugin-installer
then reinstall it if you think you need that old version 11
