is very entertaining you say "problem resolved long time ago", yet you offer no solution.
so cute you don't help
it is odd I am here in 2015 and on ALL the internet no-one else has this problem except 2010/2011

I have same problem with 12.04

AGAIN during security updates and newer Firefox 37.0.2+build1
Setting up flashplugin-nonfree (10.0.1.218+really9.0.283.0ubuntu1) ...

I know it is ICEAPE. How do I remove if there is no 'alternative'

Removing flashplugin-nonfree ...
