Your question #165689 on apt in Ubuntu changed:
https://answers.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/apt/+question/165689

    Project: libflickrnet in Ubuntu =&gt; apt in Ubuntu

You received this question notification because you asked the question.

I see three different problems on your system:

1. 'duplicate sources'
2. libflickrnet2.1.5-cil post-removal script returned error exit status 1
3. 'files list file for package .. missing

ad 1.
open a terminal (ctrl-alt-t) and issue the command
gksudo gedit /var/apt/soucres.list
This will ask for your password and then will open an editor window with your soucres.list loaded.
Go through that file and try to identify the lines that say something about
http://switch.dl.sourceforge.net/project/ubuntuzilla/mozilla/apt/ all main
You should find two completely identical lines, delete one of them.
The same with lines that say something about
http://archive.canonical.com/ubuntu/ natty partner
Again you should find two completely identical lines, delete one of them.
Save the file and close the editor.

ad 2.
libflickrnet2.1.5-cil is a package that existed on hardy, but that is no more available on newer releases, and the removal fails.
see http://www.cyberciti.biz/tips/troubleshooting-debian-ubuntu-package-upgrades-removals.html how to modify the postremove script /var/lib/dpkg/info/libflickrnet2.1.5-cil*postremove to allow successfull removal of the package (if the first line reads "#/bin/sh -e" you have to remove the '-e' there, or if there is a "set -e" somewhere below you have to remove the '-e' there).

ad 3.
Some information about these packages got lost, you should reinstall these packages by issuing the command
sudo apt-get install --reinstall konqueror-plugin-gnash swfdec-gnome gnash-ext-fileio gnash-doc python-gtk-gnash gnash-opengl libeel2-data gnash-common-opengl gnash-ext-mysql gnash-common kubuntu-restricted-addons gnash-tools kubuntu-restricted-extras gnash-dbg linux-headers-2.6.24-24 gnash-ext-lirc klash ubufox

clicking on 'gksudo gedit /var/apt/source.list' takes me to a box, but my options are :
tmp
spool
run
opt
mail
log
lock
local
lib
games
crash
cache
backups

no 'apt' file that I can see

can I still move on and fix the other problems, or am I stuck till this one is resolved?

The command is:

gksudo gedit /etc/apt/soucres.list

Ah...
Think I got the first one taken care of...

For part 2-I went to the trouble shoot web site. I opened 'libflickrnet2.1.5-cil, but it has o bytes content. I cant get it to open to show me a line that looks like '#/bin/sh-e'

I did the part 3 fix, but it had no effect. Im still getting the same error msgs; Im thinking everything hinges on the libflickrnet problem

...I opened libflickrnet2.1.5-cil...
The file name must be something like 'libflickrnet2.1.5-cil.postremove'

Issue the commands

cd /var/lib/dpkg/info
ls libflickrnet2.1.5-cil*

and you should see the right filename. Then execute the command

gksudo gedit /var/lib/dpkg/info/libflickrnet... (with the right filename)

(P.S: sorry for the typo error in my instruction for #1)
