How can I determine the version of Adobe Flash currently installed?
I would like to find the version number of Adobe Flash currently installed on my Ubuntu system. Adobe's web site says the latest version for Linux is 26.0.0.131, but if I execute
apt show adobe-flashplugin
I get
Package: adobe-flashplugin
Version: 1:20170616.1-0ubuntu0.17.04.1
[...]
but nothing like 26.0.0.131.
How can I see which Flash version I have installed?

You can visit Adobe's homepage in your browser and use their little Flash version check widget.
http://get.adobe.com/flashplayer/about/
Alternatively try the Check Now button at https://helpx.adobe.com/flash-player.html
I experienced that this is probably the most accurate and reliable way to check the exact version.

This is probably correct if one uses theadobe-flashpluginpackage, but it is e.g. known to not always be accurate if you have Flash through thepepperflashpackages. See my old question askubuntu.com/q/695569/367990

You could extract the version number directly from the adobe-flashplugin library, using a command line syntax like that: strings | grep | awk
strings /usr/lib/adobe-flashplugin/libflashplayer.so|grep LNX|awk '{print $2}'
This will give you e.g.:
26,0,0,151
