Public bug reported:

I upgraded from ubuntu 11.04 to 11.10 through update manager. I ran the
command update-manager -d. Near the end of the process, I was greeted
with the error that flash could not be installed and shortly there
after, my touchpad stopped working and I had to force a reboot. I tried
to run dpkg but still could not install flash.
