I have gone through the extensive list of removing locks on the /etc/lib/dpkg/ * files and moved and removed all files that could be blocking dpkg from working and now 2 files won;t install that depend on each other.
Both are needed to install the vbox from Oracle to make Windows work to burn a bluray of 9.5 gigs of Windows 8.1 iso. since Linux can not burn a bluray and cdrtools willl not install because of locked administrator files etc.
Here is the terminal readout of what I have done to resolve this so far:
