The issue is caused by it attempting to download the beta version.

The latest version in feisty works just fine in edgy. It can be downloaded from:

http://packages.ubuntu.com/feisty/web/flashplugin-nonfree

Direct link (.deb) available:

So why not update the one in edgy? Or at least remove it! This is definitely annoying otherwise.

Please feel free to reopen this bug if this problem is still happening.
Closing bug due to reporter never commented back after crimsun gave hima command to run and other user no longer sees this.
