If you have updates or software centre etc open, let them finish then close and retry.

If not then run:

sudo fuser -vki /var/lib/dpkg/lock;sudo dpkg --configure -a

And it will free up the packages.
Thanks

Then the torproject repo is bad and needs readding. It does exist but seems to have changed.

http://deb.torproject.org/torproject.org/dists/

You will need to remove:

deb http://deb.torproject.org/torproject.org precise main
deb-src http://deb.torproject.org/torproject.org precise main

From your /etc/apt/sources.list file then find out how to readd it properly.

The terminal command

sudo apt-key adv --keyserver keyserver.ubuntu.com --recv-keys 74A941BA219EC810

might add the missing crypto key information to your system.

Can you help with this problem?
