I ran
dpkg -l *flash* > listflash.txt
and got this list
un adobe-flash-properties-gtk <none> <none> (no description available)
un adobe-flash-properties-kde <none> <none> (no description available)

I need help with what's wrong and how to fix it. To quote Wile E. Coyote in "Sign" language "help!" There are only 3 lines that don't say "<none>" and "(no description available)" . I would remove/purge them if I knew exactly what part of the line is the actual name of the plugin so I can start again. Would that help or does someone see what 's wrong?
