Here is a workaround : Get the source to nspluginwrapper=1.2.2-0ubuntu9 :
mkdir ~/tmp cd ~/tmp apt-get source nspluginwrapper Untar the source and apply the patches : tar xvzf nspluginwrapper_1.2.2.orig.tar.gz zcat nspluginwrapper_1.2.2-0ubuntu9.diff.gz | patch -p1 Compile the source with debugging information -- this seems to "fix" the crash for some reason : cd nspluginwrapper-1.2.2 export CFLAGS="-g" ; export CXXFLAGS="-g" ./configure --disable-strip make -j [NUMBER OF PROCESSORS OR CORES YOU HAVE] Back up your current nspluginwrapper install : sudo mv /usr/bin/nspluginwrapper /usr/bin/nspluginwrapper.bak Create a symlink to the newly compiled nspluginwrapper : sudo ln -s /home/[YOUR USER NAME]/tmp/nspluginwrapper-1.2.2/npconfig /usr/bin/nspluginwrapper Now run apt-get install -f : sudo apt-get install -f You should get output similar to this ( depending on what packages you have attempted to install ) : jdb2@aleph0:~/tmp/nspluginwrapper-1.2.2$ sudo apt-get install -f Reading package lists...
