Hi, I've tried to remove adobe-flashplugin, with the force option, but that didn't work, now if I take dpkg's advice and reinstall I also get errors.
Here is the errors I get with the removal: dpkg: warning: overriding problem because --force enabled: Package is in a very bad inconsistent state - you should reinstall it before attempting a removal. (Reading database ... 268294 files and directories currently installed.) Removing adobe-flashplugin ... update-alternatives: error: no alternatives for iceape-flashplugin. update-alternatives: error: no alternatives for iceape-flashplugin. dpkg: error processing adobe-flashplugin (--remove): subprocess installed pre-removal script returned error exit status 2 postinst called with argument `abort-remove' dpkg: error while cleaning up: subprocess installed post-installation script returned error exit status 1 Errors were encountered while processing: adobe-flashplugin Now here is what I get with the install of adobe-flashplugin using dpkg -i <debfile.deb> Selecting previously deselected package adobe-flashplugin.

Preparing to replace adobe-flashplugin 10.0.32.18-1 (using install_flash_player_10_linux.deb) ... update-alternatives: error: no alternatives for iceape-flashplugin. update-alternatives: error: no alternatives for iceape-flashplugin. dpkg: warning: old pre-removal script returned error exit status 2 dpkg - trying script from the new package instead ... update-alternatives: error: no alternatives for iceape-flashplugin. update-alternatives: error: no alternatives for iceape-flashplugin. dpkg: error processing install_flash_player_10_linux.deb (--install): subprocess new pre-removal script returned error exit status 2 postinst called with argument `abort-upgrade' dpkg: error while cleaning up: subprocess installed post-installation script returned error exit status 1 Errors were encountered while processing: install_flash_player_10_linux.deb So if anyone could tell me how to totally remove this package, so I don't get anymore errors, and so I can continue using apt to install other packages, and updates, I would greatly appreciate it.
