which is what it says it needs...

So its conflicting with adobe-flashplugin.

Hence try:

sudo apt-get remove adobe-flashplugin


(and then the stuff you did before obviously)

sudo apt-get remove swfdec-mozilla
sudo apt-get remove mozilla-plugin-gnash
sudo apt-get remove adobe-flashplugin

Try removing everything that's causing you trouble. the problem seems to be that you have messed up your apts depencies, possibly by adding another software respository which was non-consistent with your old ones. It is always a little risky to add random respositories.

Check your software sources (system->admin->software sources) and remove stuff that's not the original. If that doesn't help I'm afraid you might have to reinstall your entire system to fix this (and perhaps be more cautious with adding respositories next time, given this was the cause),
