I experienced the same problem on upgrade from 32-bit 8.04 to 10.04. 'sudo dpkg --configure -a' returns nothing 'sudo apt-get -f install flashplugin-nonfree' returns :
You might want to run `apt-get -f install' to correct these: The following packages have unmet dependencies: flashplugin-nonfree: Depends: flashplugin-installer but it is not going to be installed E: Unmet dependencies. Try 'apt-get -f install' with no packages (or specify a solution). 'sudo apt-get -f install flashplugin-installer' returns: dpkg: error processing flashplugin-nonfree (--remove): Package is in a very bad inconsistent state - you should reinstall it before attempting a removal. Errors were encountered while processing: flashplugin-nonfree E: Sub-process /usr/bin/dpkg returned an error code (1) -- package flashplugin-installer (not installed) failed to install/upgrade: https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/518263 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
