I had a batch of problems after upgrading to 9.10, one of which was this 'flashplugin-nonfree' nightmare. The first two commands worked very slick. "rm /var/lib/dpkg/info/flashplugin-nonfree.prerm" resulted in new command line "dpkg --remove --force-remove-reinstreq flashplugin-nonfree" complained about "very bad inconsistent state" but did it "because --force enabled" "dpkg --purge --force-remove-reinstreq flashplugin-nonfree" gave me a warning: "dpkg: warning: while removing flashplugin-nonfree, directory '/var/cache/flashplugin-nonfree' not empty so not removed." at the resulting command line I did "ls /var/cache/flashplugin-nonfree" which showed one file: install_flash_player_9.tar.gz
I expect that removing this manually (and perhaps reissuing the "dpkg --purge") will complete the process started with the third command, but as I have spent a great deal of time on this problem I will wait for confirmation of that. Thank you for your time and consideration. -- broken packaging: package flashplugin-nonfree 10.0.22.87ubuntu1 failed to install/upgrade: (breaks upgrade) https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/429841 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
