[Bug 412944] Re: [Karmic] Removing Flash Plugin causes annoying package managing problems
I had this same problem and none of the above helped. I wound up running update-manager -d (without the quotes) in the command box. Update Manager should open up and tell you: New distribution release '9.xx' is available.

[Bug 412944] Re: [Karmic] Removing Flash Plugin causes annoying package managing problems
One more alternate work-around: comment out the line that says set -e. That line tells the script to exit on error whenever any regular command fails. Commenting out just this line means that the update-alternatives calls that work still get run, and those that don't work don't also cause removal to fail. -- [Karmic] Removing Flash Plugin causes annoying package managing problems https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/412944 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

I have found a workaround to solve this issue manually, though this should be fixed properly with a patch.

[Bug 412944] Re: [Karmic] Removing Flash Plugin causes annoying package managing problems
This looks like a adobe-flashplugin problem. I've never seen the package and don't know what it is doing, but from the errors it looks like the prerm script is broken and uses the update-alternatives command wrongly. ** Package changed: computer-janitor (Ubuntu) = adobe-flashplugin (Ubuntu) -- [Karmic] Removing Flash Plugin causes annoying package managing problems https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/412944 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
