You might want to run 'apt-get -f install' to correct these:
The following packages have unmet dependencies: adobe-flash-properties-gtk : Depends: adobe-flashplugin (= 11.1.102.55-0oneiric1) but it is not going to be installed
E: Unmet dependencies. Try 'apt-get -f install' with no packages (or specify a solution).

If figured it out myself.

I run $ apt-config dump|grep Architand it gave

APT::Architecture "amd64";
APT::Architectures "";
APT::Architectures:: "amd64";

And I fixed it with running:

$ sudo -s
# echo "foreign-architecture i386" > /etc/dpkg/dpkg.cfg.d/multiarch
# apt-get update

And then updating packages.

adobe-flashplugin conflicts with flashplugin-downloader

Please uninstall flashplugin-downloader:

sudo apt-get remove flashplugin-downloader

I suggest trying the packages flashplugin-installer respective flashplugin64-installer if you have troubles installing flash. However, your second command should succeed after removing flashplugin-downloader
