This is not a "flashplugin" issue as it happens randomly with some other
packages when a script validate an upgrade. that one has not been
updated to support the new apt design "'_apt'"

The real problem is : there is _apt user on the system

grep -B2 _apt /var/lib/dpkg/info/apt.postinst

	# add unprivileged user for the apt methods
	adduser --force-badname --system --home /nonexistent  \
	    --no-create-home --quiet _apt || true

	# Fixup any mistake in the home directory of the _apt user
	if dpkg --compare-versions "$2" lt-nl 1.1~exp10~; then
	    usermod --home /nonexistent _apt


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