Public bug reported: Binary package hint: flashplugin-nonfree
When installing flashplugin-installer apt-get reports the error message reported below. When this occurs I'm unable to remove or install the plugin. I manually removed the package by using: gksu gedit /var/lib/dpkg/status and removing the package details and then attempted a re-install with the same problem. If I look in firefox flash is loaded however the myth packages mentioned below appear to require this particular version. Download done. Flash Plugin installed. update-alternatives: error: /var/lib/dpkg/alternatives/iceape-flashplugin corrupt: invalid status dpkg: error processing flashplugin-installer (--configure): subprocess installed post-installation script returned error exit status 2 dpkg: dependency problems prevent configuration of mythnetvision: mythnetvision depends on flashplugin-installer | adobe-flashplugin; however: Package flashplugin-installer is not configured yet.
