<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>
