[Garry Leach <476784@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

I use Mythbuntu.  I had fallen behind in upgrading, because I was
reasonably happy with the stability of 10.10.  However, when the message
came that updates were no longer supported, I decided to upgrade,
progressively, through 11.04, 11.10 & 12.04.

Towards the end of the 11.04 upgrade process, the following was
reported:

"Could not install the upgrades

The upgrade has aborted. Your system could be in an unusable state. A
recovery will run now (dpkg --configure -a).

Upgrade complete

The upgrade has completed but there were errors during the upgrade
process."

Further to this, I identified that package adobe-flashplugin, ver.
10.0,22.87-1 is broken.

I manually tried to remove adobe "Completely", using Synaptic "broken
packages" function, but:

"E: adobe-flashplugin: subprocess installed pre-removal script returned
error exit status 2"

Update Manager requested I fix broken pkg indexes:

"sudo apt-get install -f"

"The following packages will be REMOVED:
  adobe-flashplugin
0 upgraded, 0 newly installed, 1 to remove and 0 not upgraded.
1 not fully installed or removed.
After this operation, 10.2 MB disk space will be freed.
Do you want to continue [Y/n]? Y"

"(Reading database ... 282241 files and directories currently installed.)
Removing adobe-flashplugin ...
update-alternatives: error: no alternatives for iceape-flashplugin.

dpkg: error processing adobe-flashplugin (--remove):

postinst called with argument `abort-remove'
dpkg: error while cleaning up:
 subprocess installed post-installation script returned error exit status 1
Errors were encountered while processing:
 adobe-flashplugin
E: Sub-process /usr/bin/dpkg returned an error code (1)"

I am now unsure of the status of my PC.

Update Manager is locked, & Synaptic doesn't respond to doing anything
with adobe.....

I don't know whether I will be able to reboot the system...

Regards, Garry.
