How is this not an error? Getting this in 16.10. If we can't write to the directory, why is that? We didn't do anything? Who set the perms wrong. And, if they are wrong why does the package proceed to tell us it worked... "Installing from local file" (when there file isn't there) and then "Flash Plugin installed." There is nothing in that directory. Nothing was installed. It didn't work. Status messages are not status messages when they assume success.
Please reopen.
