I tried to hack the flashplugin-installer_10.0.22.87ubuntu2_amd64.deb so that it won't try to update-alternativ those things. Now at least one can install the package and uninstall it afterwards. Once flashplugin- nonfree is installed flash works again. I'll append the hacked 64-bit package, the i386 package can probably hacked the same way.
Oh, first I tried to only alter VARIANTS to VARIANTS="mozilla firefox xulrunner midbrowser xulrunner-addons" - but that did not work... ** Attachment added: "Hacked 64-Bit package which lets you remove and reinstall the old one" http://launchpadlibrarian.net/29324913/flashplugin-installer_10.0.22.87ubuntu2_amd64.deb -- package adobe-flashplugin 10.0.22.87-1 failed to install/upgrade: subprocess new pre-removal script returned error exit status 2 https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/371890 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
