[Bug 131864] Re: gnash crash! ...gnash 0.8.1~trunk.070802-0ubuntu3 failed to install/upgrade: subprocess post-installation script returned error exit status 2

[apache2]

Christian Schuerer, if you had installed the broken package before the fixed
release, you will _still_ have problems upgrading.  You need to remove it
first.  I posted above how to manually remove.

"
I got it to remove in a very forcefull way.  I'm not to keen on
scripting or how dpkg works, so you might not listen to me BUT, if you
want to remove mozilla-plugin-gnash (for now until it is fixed):


You have to remove 1 line from 2 different files.

Remove  [ for p in iceape iceweasel mozilla firefox xulrunner; do
update-alternatives --remove "$p-flashplugin"
/usr/lib/gnash/libgnashplugin.so done ]

from
/var/lib/dpkg/info/mozilla-plugin-gnash.prerm        &
/var/lib/dpkg/info/mozilla-plugin-gnash.postinst

then
sudo apt-get remove mozilla-plugin-gnash


and to be safe, manually run update-alternatives as both files wanted to do:

sudo update-alternatives --remove iceape-flashplugin
/usr/lib/gnash/libgnashplugin.so
sudo update-alternatives --remove iceweasel-flashplugin
/usr/lib/gnash/libgnashplugin.so
sudo update-alternatives --remove mozilla-flashplugin
/usr/lib/gnash/libgnashplugin.so
sudo update-alternatives --remove firefox-flashplugin
/usr/lib/gnash/libgnashplugin.so
sudo update-alternatives --remove xulrunner-flashplugin
/usr/lib/gnash/libgnashplugin.so "

once you've done that, then upgrade and let me know if it went through
smooth
