The underlying problem is this one, thus reassigning to flashplugin-nonfree.

Removing flashplugin-nonfree ...

update-alternatives: error: no alternatives for iceape-flashplugin.

update-alternatives: error: no alternatives for iceape-flashplugin.

dpkg: error processing flashplugin-nonfree (--remove):

 subprocess installed pre-removal script returned error exit status 2

postinst called with argument `abort-remove'

dpkg: error while cleaning up:

 subprocess installed post-installation script returned error exit status 1

Errors were encountered while processing:

The rest of the log is weird though, I can't make any sense of it.
