Thanks for your report.

Do you have googleearth installed on your system ?

No, I do not. Also there is something wrong with HD audio, though it doesn't
give me anything to report on, it just doesn't work.

i managed to remove flashplugin-nonfree with 2 dirty steps:
1. edit /var/lib/dpkg/info/flashplugin-nonfree.prerm (you might want to create a backup first)
  the new version should look like this:
    #!/bin/sh
    # prerm script for flashplugin-nonfree
    #
    # see: dh_installdeb(1)

    set -e

    exit 0

2. run dpkg --force-remove-reinstreq -r flashplugin-nonfree

In case dpkg complains for more scripts resulting in non-zero statuses, edit the corresponding scripts too.

3. finally you might want to remove the flashplugin files yourself
