E: The package adobe-flashplugin needs to be reinstalled, but I can't find an archive for it. Ubuntu 9.10 I had some problems with amarok player, I couldn't get any sound from it. Anyway, I fixed it somehow, from terminal, with some packages, after a couple of reboots, now I have problem with the adobe-flashplugin.

"after a lot of googling...finally!

$ sudo rm /var/lib/dpkg/info/adobe-flashplugin.prerm # Deletes a troublesome config file

$ sudo dpkg-reconfigure adobe-flashplugin --force # Force-reconfigures adobe-flashplugin

$ sudo dpkg --purge --force-all adobe-flashplugin # Force-removes adobe-flashplugin

$ sudo apt-get install flashplugin-nonfree # Installs flashplayer the easy way

cheers ;)"
