I am using Ubuntu. Yesterday I have installed Adobe Flash plugin to my laptop. The installation was interrupted,and it didn't complete. However, the software shows in the installed software menu. Today I have tried to install another program, but the attempt failed, with error message 'your last installation was incomplete, fix that first'. The problem is that I can't remove Adobe Flash from the laptop,and can't install anything else. Kindly help me.
