Thank you for taking the time to report this issue and helping to make Ubuntu better. Examining the information you have given us, this does not appear to be a bug report so we are closing it and converting it to a question in the support tracker.

-- I have googled and found the alternative method to solve the problem
as follows:-
Add: launchpad.net/sevenmachines/flash/ubuntu in repository directory &
update
Now, I can use adobe flash player in version - Shockwave Flash 10.3 d162

Thanks and regards,
