Plan B : Try the command below to purge the offending packages : $ sudo dpkg --purge --force-remove-reinstreq flashplugin-installer flashplugin-nonfree
Then to reinstall : $ sudo apt-get install flashplugin-installer You don't need to install flashplugin-nonfree which is only a transitional package. Hope this helps. -- package flashplugin-nonfree 9.0.159.0ubuntu1~hardy1 failed to install/upgrade: Package is in a very bad inconsistent state - you should reinstall it before attempting a removal. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/497633 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
