I asked a Linux expert to help me on this.  The following are the steps
I followed.

After checking many files, & running some programs, he identified that the problem was caused by the line/s above:
"update-alternatives: error: no alternatives for iceape-flashplugin."

He then asked me to edit "/var/lib/dpkg/info/flashplugin-
installer.prerm", & delete all packages that weren't installed,
including  iceape-flashplugin.

Then run: "sudo sh -x /var/lib/dpkg/info/flashplugin-installer.prerm
remove"

Then run re-install firefox (which by then was trated as a broken
package.

This removed adobe-flashplugin & Update manager is again working.

Regards Garry.
