flashplugin-nonfree broken after upgrade to Karmic

[PeterKlaassen]

After upgrading form 8.4 HH LTS to 9.10 KK flashplugin-nonfree is broken.
It can not be removed or reinstalled. It blocs all actions as, even after apt-get update.
I removed all related files from var/lib/dpkg/info/
The error states that the files is very inconsistant and should be reinstalled before removing.
But installing the file gives the same error.
also aptitude --pruge is stopped with the same problem.
Apparantly the file is no longer available, but is still registered in dpkg.
What more options are there?

After upgrading form 8.4 HH LTS to 9.10 KK flashplugin-nonfree is broken.

Is there a direct upgrade path from 8.04 to 9.10? I'm kinda surprised anything works if you really did that :P

Did you replace the 8.04 Medibuntu repo with the 9.10 Medibuntu repo? I would do that first, then

sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get install --reinstall flashplugin-nonfree

But no guarantees -- you're deep into experimental territory, I think ....


EDIT: OK, found the official guidance here: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Ka...s/Kubuntu/8.04

eating my crow pie now.


If adding the 9.10 Medibuntu repo does not work, possibly you could remove --purge your browser first, then reinstall the browser, then try again with the plugin. Just guessing ....
