I use Mythbuntu. I had fallen behind in upgrading, because I was reasonably happy with the stability of 10.10. However, when the message came that updates were no longer supported, I decided to upgrade, progressively, through 11.04, 11.10 & 12.04.
Towards the end of the 11.04 upgrade process, the following was reported: "Could not install the upgrades The upgrade has aborted. Your system could be in an unusable state. A recovery will run now (dpkg --configure -a). Upgrade complete The upgrade has completed but there were errors during the upgrade process." Further to this, I identified that package adobe-flashplugin, ver. 10.0,22.87-1 is broken. I manually tried to remove adobe "Completely", using Synaptic "broken packages" function, but: "E: adobe-flashplugin: subprocess installed pre-removal script returned error exit status 2" Update Manager requested I fix broken pkg indexes: "sudo apt-get install -f" "The following packages will be REMOVED: adobe-flashplugin 0 upgraded, 0 newly installed, 1 to remove and 0 not upgraded. 1 not fully installed or removed. After this operation, 10.2 MB disk space will be freed. Do you want to continue [Y/n]? Y" "(Reading database ... 282241 files and directories currently installed.) Removing adobe-flashplugin ... update-alternatives: error: no alternatives for iceape-flashplugin. update-alternatives: error: no alternatives for iceape-flashplugin. dpkg: error processing adobe-flashplugin (--remove): subprocess installed pre-removal script returned error exit status 2 postinst called with argument `abort-remove' dpkg: error while cleaning up: subprocess installed post-installation script returned error exit status 1 Errors were encountered while processing: adobe-flashplugin E: Sub-process /usr/bin/dpkg returned an error code (1)" I am now unsure of the status of my PC. Update Manager is locked, & Synaptic doesn't respond to doing anything with adobe..... I don't know whether I will be able to reboot the system...
