Bug Description

I just wanted to install flash player but there came out an erorr: "E: flashplugin-installer: underprocess installed pre-removal script gave back erorr code 2" [I translated it from polish so it can have some mistakes]. I tried to remove this flashplugin-installer through synaptic but it didn't worked too.
I have ubuntu 9.10
The version of the package is: flashplugin-installer 10.0.45.2ubuntu9.10

Thank You for help, but I have just managed to repair this. Following instructions on some forum I deleted /var/lib/dpkg/info/flashplugin-installer.prerm which allowed me to remove flashplugin-installer package completly and then install it again without any problems.
