Fabio Rodriguez's solution worked for me, except I used flashplugin-
installer instead of adobe-flashplugin.
mkdir /var/cache/flashplugin-installer
sudo rm /var/lib/dpkg/info/flashplugin-installer.prerm
sudo dpkg --remove --force-remove-reinstreq flashplugin-installer
The text of the original problem can be seen below
$ sudo dpkg -r flashplugin-installer
