[Bug 213827] Re: typo in prerm file avoids package remove

[xtknight]

Tiziano Faion: thanks.  That is the old package.  So, does the new one
fix the issue?

You should simply be able to type "sudo dpkg -i newpackage.deb".  If
not, maybe "sudo dpkg -i --force-all newpackage.deb".

Make sure you download the AMD64 Hardy version from here (you're on Hardy, right?)  https://launchpad.net/~xt-knight/+archive
Version should be flashplugin-nonfree - 9.0.124.0ubuntu2~ppa1.

John Vivirito: The latest Hardy package (9.0.124.0ubuntu1) has the
problem.  -ubuntu2 is the debdiff to fix -ubuntu1's problem.

Hardy, Gutsy, Edgy (Flash 9), Dapper (Flash 9) have the problem.  Not sure if it's worth an SRU?
Feisty, Edgy (Flash 7), Dapper (Flash 7) do not.

List of affected packages:

hardy flashplugin-nonfree (9.0.124.0ubuntu1) [multiverse] 
gutsy-updates flashplugin-nonfree (9.0.124.0ubuntu1~gutsy1) [multiverse] 
gutsy flashplugin-nonfree (9.0.48.0.2+really0ubuntu12) [multiverse] 
edgy-backports flashplugin-nonfree (9.0.48.0.0ubuntu11~edgy1) [multiverse] 
dapper-backports flashplugin-nonfree (9.0.48.0.0ubuntu11~dapper3) [multiverse]


** Changed in: flashplugin-nonfree (Ubuntu)
       Status: Incomplete => Confirmed
