I upgraded ubuntu, but the upgrade broke firefox, adobe flash plugin and corrupted the package database. I ran the suggested catalog repair, no change. I ran apt-get -f install, no change. I ran apt purge packageName, no change. How can I resolve this circular dependency?

Here are some details:

installArchives() failed: dpkg: dependency problems prevent configuration of adobe-flashplugin:
