Error while updating.

Hi I was trying to update via apt-get and I got the following error.

1 upgraded, 0 newly installed, 0 to remove and 0 not upgraded.

It appears that two packages have the same code.
Is there anyway to fix the problem? Thanks in advance.

Thank you the link gave me this script.

sudo apt-get purge xul-ext-ubufox

After running it I was able update without any conflicts.
