If it's depending upon dpkg, how do i un-install and re-install from fresh.

How do i resolve this issue E: Unable to correct problems, you have held broken packages. ? Does it depend on dpkg ? I'm not sure if /usr/***/dpkg file's been deleted ? Tried re-installing dpkg, but no success. I don't mind in re-trying all again
If it's depending upon dpkg, how do i un-install and re-install from fresh.
xubuntu python dpkg
