What you can do is start upgrading those packages by hand, by using dpkg and --force-overwrite.

However: once you start installing/upgrading packages manually, you risk breaking your system even worse. So you absolutely *must* know how to get out of a situation where the dependency graph is broken.

I would suggest to you to either find some friend of yours that is an expert user of debian/ubuntu/dpkg based systems and do this together or to get some professional help if it's worth it to you.

There also might be a linux or ubuntu users group meeting regulary somewhere near you where you should be able to find someone knowledgeable.

Or you can try your luck on some #ubuntu IRC channel.
