<P><FONT SIZE=2>Ok...so I've had flash working since i got 9.10 installed on my computer. The other day i did some updates and now its saying that flash is not installed anymore. I've tried some forum postings and i can't seem to get anything working. And to make things worse I have a messed up flashplugin-nonfree package that i cannot fully remove right now.<BR>
<BR>
The following packages will be REMOVED:<BR>
flashplugin-nonfree<BR>
0 upgraded, 0 newly installed, 1 to remove and 0 not upgraded.<BR>
2 not fully installed or removed.<BR>
After this operation, 160kB disk space will be freed.<BR>
Do you want to continue [Y/n]? Y<BR>
dpkg: error processing flashplugin-nonfree (--remove):<BR>
Package is in a very bad inconsistent state - you should<BR>
reinstall it before attempting a removal.<BR>
Errors were encountered while processing:<BR>
flashplugin-nonfree<BR>
E: Sub-process /usr/bin/dpkg returned an error code (1)<BR>
<BR>
Does anyone know how to manually get rid of a package without using kpackagekit or apt?</FONT>
</P>
