Yep. Basically what flashplugin-nonfree is is a script that
automaticically installs flash using nspluginwrapper for 64bit'ers. See:
http://packages.ubuntu.com/hardy/nspluginwrapper
http://packages.ubuntu.com/hardy/flashplugin-nonfree
https://wiki.ubuntu.com/FlashPlayer9
However, from your error message it sounds to me that something else is
broke, so let's try a few things. From the terminal (in order - one at a
time):
gedit
[note: leave gedit open & use gedit to copy and past the output of the
following into the text editor so that you can keep a record of the
actions & errors. You can then paste from there to here if you run into
issues or get errors.]
sudo apt-get remove --purge flashplugin-nonfree
sudo apt-get install -f
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get upgrade
sudo apt-get check
sudo apt-get install flashplugin-nonfree
sudo apt-get check
