Hello!

My System is Debian GNU/Linux Etch and Half.

I have installed flashplugin-nonfree and it works well with iceweasel
so far.

Then I edit /apt/sources.list
--->
deb http://www.backports.org/debian etch-backports main contrib non-free
---<

and setup apt to can use deb packages from Debian Backports.

I edit the /apt/preferences file:
--->
Package: *
Pin: release a=etch-backports
Pin-Priority: 200
--<

Then I made an upgrade and I think then was upgraded
flashplugin-nonfree too.

Now I have flashplugin-nonfree version 1:1.4~bpo40+1.

The iceweasel crash when I try to open a webpage:
http://www.hobbielektronika.hu/cikkek/nullarol_a_robotokig_-_pic_mikrovezerlok_i_resz.html?pg=1&Submit=%3E%3E

That was yesterday. Today iceweasel can't open at all this web page.

I can't to purge nor remove flashplugin-nonfree with aptitude.

Aptitude hangs at this task.

What can I do to solve this problem?

Any advices will be appreciated!

Paul , please provide details of what happens when you attempt to
remove aptitude. Preferably, copy and paste the console output
including the initial command line used.

Hi,

I've already answered in private but forgot to click "reply all"
instead of "reply".

I had the same problem. It is because people.debian.org was not
accessible but now it works. There was no meaningful output, just some
message about the start of installation.
The output of "ps -efHww" that was during the hang is in the attachment.

$ sudo aptitude remove aptitude

give to me an error message about that that tasksel is a broken
package.

After I remove aptitude and tasksel and install these again (with
apt-get), I can to remove flashplugin-nonfree and install it again.

Now iceweasel works fine.

I so totally didn't mean to remove aptitude. I meant to post the exact
command and output of the purge command. d'oh.
