Install Flash for Chromium on Debian
The package pepperflashplugin-nonfree downloads the Chrome for Linux Debian package (.deb) from Google and extracts the Flash PPAPI plugin (libpepflashplayer.so) to make it available to other browsers system-wide.
The package pepperflashplugin-nonfree is broken since Google changed the method of distribution of the Flash plugin with Chrome 54 for Linux; libpepflashplayer.so is not directly bundled in the Debian package anymore.
This is the reason you have to install Pepper Flash Plugin manually. Download the PAPI version of Flash player from here
https://get.adobe.com/flashplayer/otherversions/
Copy libpepflashplayer.so
to /usr/lib/pepperflashplugin-nonfree/
Now check sudo update-pepperflashplugin-nonfree --status
You should see somthing like this
Flash Player version installed on this system : 25.0.0.127
Flash Player version available on upstream site: 22.0.0.209
