After removing with the purge command, the install of flashplugin-installer
gives the following error:

      "nspluginwrapper: /usr/lib/flashplugin-installer/libflashplayer.so in
not a valid NPAPI plugin"

I had seen the same error during the attempted installs yesterday.

In that directory there is no .so file!

With the samba4 install attempts get the error:
