conflicting packages - not installing flashplugin-installer
At the end, the upgrade halted abruptly!!! The system can be re-booted
into 10.04 but flashplugin-nonfree has been a problem since.
The following 3 commands have been used to "remove" the flashplugin-
nonfree (10.0.1.218+really9.0.277.0ubuntu1) which was installed while
using 8.04.
# rm /var/lib/dpkg/info/flashplugin-nonfree.prerm
# dpkg --remove --force-remove-reinstreq flashplugin-nonfree
# dpkg --purge --force-remove-reinstreq flashplugin-nonfree

After that, flashplugin-nonfree version 10.1.53.64ubuntu0.10.04.1 has
been installed using the apt-get command as sho wn below:
# apt-get install flashplugin-nonfree
However, it seems that the installation has failed although no error was
displayed while running the above commands. Video clips from youtube.com
cannot be played for the time being.
