You had multiple errors including one that is the direct consequence of lack of memory. Since this one is not a bug but a limitation of your setup, I ignore it.
However the error below is worth some investigation and I thus reaffect this bug to adobe-flashplugin. Removing adobe-flashplugin:i386 ... update-alternatives: error: no alternatives for iceape-flashplugin. update-alternatives: error: no alternatives for iceape-flashplugin. dpkg: error processing adobe-flashplugin:i386 (--remove): subprocess installed pre-removal script returned error exit status 2 postinst called with argument `abort-remove' dpkg: error while cleaning up: subprocess installed post-installation script returned error exit status 1 Errors were encountered while processing: adobe-flashplugin:i386 ** Package changed: dpkg (Ubuntu) => adobe-flashplugin (Ubuntu) -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/882209 Title: package g++ 4:4.5.2-1ubuntu3 failed to install/upgrade: ErrorMessage: package g is already installed and configured To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/adobe-flashplugin/+bug/882209/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
