Try the following command:



sudo rm /var/lib/apt/lists/lock


backup



sudo cp -arf /var/lib/dpkg /var/lib/dpkg.backup


replace



sudo cp /var/lib/dpkg/status-old /var/lib/dpkg/status
sudo cp /var/lib/dpkg/available-old /var/lib/dpkg/available


purge



sudo rm -rf /var/lib/dpkg/updates/*
sudo rm -rf /var/lib/apt/lists
sudo mkdir /var/lib/apt/lists
sudo mkdir /var/lib/apt/lists/partial
sudo rm /var/cache/apt/*.bin


and try:



sudo apt-get clean
sudo apt-get autoclean
sudo apt-get update
sudo dpkg --clear-avail
sudo dpkg --configure -a
sudo apt-get install -f
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get upgrade


Edit



Reboot your system choose the Recovery Mode option below the default entry. When you get to a command-line login prompt, simply type your username, hit Enter, then enter your password, and hit Enter.



You will get to the Recovery Menu, on which you choose the dpkg option. You will need to be connected to the internet for it to retrieve the packages it needs.
