update-manager crashed with Package [u'flashplugin-nonfree'] isn't installed in _run()

[Steve Langasek]

This happens when trying to upgrade a package that's of a foreign architecture when the corresponding package of the native architecture exists but is not installed (Multi-Arch: none). Instead of just upgrading flashplugin-nonfree:i386 (or flashplugin-installer:i386), update-manager apparently tries to first remove flashplugin-nonfree:amd64, which is not installed; hence the error.
