I can't install flashplugin-installer after having upgraded from Maverick to Natty. Something crashes during the installation:

$ sudo aptitude install flashplugin-installer
The following NEW packages will be installed:
flashplugin-installer nspluginwrapper{a}

This was caused by the google-talkplugin package. Uninstalled it and the flashplugin-installer worked perfectly. After that I could re-install google-talkplugin.
