I have the same problem with the installation of flashplugin-installer in Ubuntu 12.04. I have fixed this bug by:

  1. Adding the correct proxy in /etc/environment and /etc/wgetrc
  2. Adding the following line in /etc/sudoers:
    • Defaults env_keep="http_proxy"
  3. By installing the following:
    • sudo apt-get install policykit-1
    • sudo apt-get install ttf-mscorefonts-installer
    • sudo apt-get --reinstall install flashplugin-installer

And now the problem is solved.

"No route to host" is a network connectivity problem.

Do you have an otherwise working internet connection?

You may want to check:

  • Can you ping either host (archive.canonical.com or downloads.sourceforge.net) from the same PC?
  • Do you have any firewall or other network setup that could be blocking access to these sites?
  • Do you rely on a proxy server to access the web that you may have configured in your browser and in APT, but that Python/update-notifier is not picking up? If so, this bug report may be helpful in 12.04. Essentially the problem is that the installer for these two packages require access to the web to download data, but sudo is not passing them your system proxy settings (APT gets it proxy settings a different way so is unaffected).

  • I haven't any internet connection problems. I use proxy and everthing working properly. – Mcgr3g0r May 22 '12 at 06:46
  • Then my third dot point is relevant to you. Python is not picking up your proxy settings. The installer for these two packages (flashplugin-installer and ttf-mscorefonts-installer) need to download files from web sites in order to install. They do this with Python scripts. – thomasrutter May 22 '12 at 07:26
  • This bug report may be helpful or relevant here: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/sudo/+bug/982684 - essentially the problem is that the installer for these two packages flashplugin-installer and ttf-mscorefonts-installer require access to the web, but sudo is unable to pass them proxy settings (APT gets it proxy settings a different way so is unaffected). – thomasrutter May 22 '12 at 07:59
  • Just to add to this answer. The workaround from the bug report is to use "sudo -i apt-get install" to install this package until the bug is fixed. – Jon7 Jun 01 '12 at 23:14
