E: I wasn't able to locate a file for the firefox-1.5.en-us.linux package. This might mean you need to manually fix this package. (due to missing arch)
E: Couldn't lock list directory..are you root?
Thanks.
I'm not 100% sure (you don't provide the command you used to actually install the package), but I would try:
dpkg --purge firefox-1.5.en-us.linux
