Public bug reported:
Binary package hint: adobe-flashplugin
I have flashplugin-installer installed from repos. But still I am not
able to view any flash related content on Firefox. So I tried re-
installing it. It said the package is in very bad inconsistent state. I
also tried installing it from Adobe's website. Still no use. After
today's upgrade of the flash plugin. I am getting this error:
E: /var/cache/apt/archives/adobe-flashplugin_10.0.22.87-2jaunty1_i386.deb:
subprocess new pre-removal script returned error exit status 2
E: /var/cache/apt/archives/flashplugin-installer_10.0.22.87ubuntu2_i386.deb:
subprocess new pre-removal script returned error exit status 1
And the apt console says:
