[Bug 213827] Re: typo in prerm file breaks failed-upgrade processing

[Daniel Hahler]

Tiziano's error appears to be in postinst: "dpkg (subprocess): unable to execute post-installation script: Exec format error".
Tiziano, please try purging the current package, before fiddling in /var/lib/dpkg/status directly. You only seem to have tried to reinstall it:
$ sudo dpkg -P flashplugin-nonfree

As for the typo, I don't think it makes any difference, the next line
would be "exit 1" anyway, so the script fails also for "failed-upgrade",
if the typo is fixed.

IMHO the typo should be fixed, but also the "exit 1" changed to "exit
0", but please investigate, if "exit 1" has any special meaning in
prerm.
