Bug Description

When I installed the flashplayer-nonfree.deb package from synaptic package manager, it was hanging with a user's license agreement with OK on it.

So I killed the installer with kill -9 command, as I can't close the synaptic package manager.

After that, I can't install or remove it, it gives me the following message:

E: The package flashplayer-nonfree needs to be reinstalled, but I can't find an archive for it.
E: Internal error opening cache (1). Please report.
E: Unable to lock the list directory

Thanks.
