This is the latest backports package's bug. It was backported to solve Malone bug #38904 and #48620. (Request for backports is #61216)
This problem is due to that, the init system of edgy and dapper are different. How to fix: Edit flashplugin-nonfree's postinst, and find this line: update-rc.d flashplugin-nonfree multiuser >/dev/null replace "multiuser" with "defaults" will do. I tried this method in dapper, and it works smoothly. ** Changed in: flashplugin-nonfree (Ubuntu) Status: Needs Info => Confirmed -- Flashplugin-nonfree https://launchpad.net/bugs/61562 -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
