Some chatter on the siduction forum recently about google changing where to download from

from DeepDayze post near end.

I suspect Google no longer allows direct access to the repo and I don't get it what caused the pepperflash updater to break. For now I just grab the Chrome deb and extract the pepperflash plugin manually.

Fell free to sleuth some more.
