I have recently installed Ubuntu 11.10 using wubi. I am now still in the process of installing my development environments. I have seen the following error occur multiple times.

For example, just now I wanted to install vim using the commmand sudo apt-get install vim. The following error is returned:

Fehler traten auf beim Bearbeiten von:  

("Errors were encountered while processing:" [via Google Translate])

  flashplugin-downloader:i386

  flashplugin-installer

  E: Sub-process /usr/bin/dpkg returned an error code (1)

The install seems to have completed and I can now use vim. Still, I would like to know what this error is and how I can fix it.

This error simply means flashplugin-installer didn't install correctly before, and you will need to reinstall it.

Run:

sudo apt-get remove --purge flashplugin-installer

sudo apt-get update

sudo apt-get install flashplugin-installer
