[Mathieu Trudel-Lapierre <mathieu.tl@xxxxxxxxx>]

It's fixed with the package in proposed; from there you wouldn't get
thrown offline due to the new policy preventing the use of wireless (or
using a wired connection is also a good workaround).

To recover after a "failed" upgrade; you should be able to reboot the
system safely and issue the following commands once booted:

sudo dpkg --configure -a
sudo apt-get -f install

The issue with flash appears to happens late enough during the upgrade
process that the upgrade is already mostly done.

The complications in testing this lie in the fact that you can't just
proceed with the upgrade normally to test this package; one will need to
change the sources.list file to point to oneiric manually, then use
'sudo apt-get dist-upgrade' to upgrade.

Title:
  flashplugin-installer upgrade failed during Oneiric upgrade

Status in “network-manager” package in Ubuntu:
  In Progress
Status in “update-manager” package in Ubuntu:
  Invalid
Status in “network-manager” source package in Oneiric:
  Fix Committed
Status in “update-manager” source package in Oneiric:

Bug description:
  [Impact]
  This would affect any user connected to only wifi or 3G (or a VPN) while upgrading. Users connected to wired (which is a considered as a system-wide connection) are unaffected. A release-note text was provided to help mitigate the issue.

  [Development Fix]
  Tested locally in a PPA (http://ppa.launchpad.net/mathieu-tl/nm/ubuntu) which depends on manually changing the sources.list to point to oneiric, add that PPA (remove any others listed for natty) and running 'apt-get dist-upgrade'. Version is network-manager 0.9.1.90-0ubuntu4~mtrudel~nm1; to be 0.9.1.90-0ubuntu4.

  [Stable Fix]
  See http://bazaar.launchpad.net/~mathieu-tl/network-manager/lp859373/view/head:/debian/patches/lp859373_upgrade_policy_fix.patch?start_revid=375.

  [Test Case]
  Run 'apt-get dist-upgrade' from a newly-installed Natty system after changing the sources to point to Oneiric. (will require making sure oneiric-proposed is enabled)

  [Regression Potential]
  Very low. The missing policy is only in use on the Natty system with the natty version of NetworkManager running while the upgrade is being done; after the upgrade complete and NetworkManager (or the system) is restarted, that policy is no longer referred to.

  Upgrade failed as the flashplugin-installer package failed to upgrade.
  I suspect this was because the network was unavailable at this point
  in the process.
