Try this. Just press Ctrl+Alt+T on your keyboard to open Terminal. When it opens, run the command below.

sudo dpkg --configure -a       
sudo apt-get install -f
sudo apt-get update

And then try installing again.

If the above doesn't help, you can always install Adobe flash using:

sudo apt-add-repository "deb http://archive.canonical.com/ $(lsb_release -sc) partner"
sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get install flashplugin-installer

Sounds like a repository mismatch. I've been dealing with broken packages and dependencies ever since the last Ubuntu upgrade, last night.

Which repository location are you using?

I had mine set for a mirror in Brazil (which is close to where I live). Only after I switched back to the Main repo stuff got back to normal. 

apt-get update
apt-get clean
apt-get autoclean
apt-get install -f
apt-get upgrade
