Confirming this issue. Same here upgrading from 8.04 to 10.04.1 caused the problem to appear.

All above solutions didn't work in my case. The following worked. In Terminal:

--------------------------------
sudo rm /var/lib/dpkg/info/flashplugin-nonfree.postinst
sudo rm /var/lib/dpkg/info/flashplugin-nonfree.postrm
sudo rm /var/lib/dpkg/info/flashplugin-nonfree.prerm
sudo dpkg --force all --purge flashplugin-nonfree
--------------------------------
