Error messageProcessing was halted because there were too many errors. E: Sub-process /usr/bin/dpkg returned an error code (1)

I tried following the suggested fix on:
https://help.ubuntu.com/community/PackageManagerTroubleshootingProcedure#Step_1_Switch_to_.22Main_Server.22_using_Software_Sources

but it didn't work. Step 6 on the previously mentioned site suggests running the following command and then
providing the output:
~$ find /etc/apt -name '*.list' -exec bash -c 'echo -e "\n$1\n"; cat -n "$1"' _ '{}' \;
