Updated to 11.10 and now flash is gone. How to completely wipe it?

  • 772

There was some problem while upgrading my ubuntu to the last version at roughly 90%. Apparently all the system is fine but there was a problem with flash. Now it's reported as not installed, but I simply can't install it again using apt-get or a package from adobe's site.

Is there a way to completely remove any reference to flash on my system so that I can re-install it properly?
