Dependency problems on updates, including apt 12.04 LTS i386

For a while now I've had problem where I have to boot from root menu and then mount the / directory.

I'm funcional except for updates and adding software. I was hoping to add software so I went through troubleshooting after I tried apt-get -f install etc.

libc6 and tzdata seem to be the main problems with irreconcilable dependencies. In software manager history though it showed they were uploaded.

This was part of result in one run of apt-get
E: Could not open lock file /var/lib/dpkg/lock - open (13: Permission denied)
E: Unable to lock the administration directory (/var/lib/dpkg/), are you root?

This appears to be the other main response I get:
Preconfiguring packages ...
(Reading database ... 25%dpkg: unrecoverable fatal error, aborting:
 files list file for package 'libsoprano4' is missing final newline
E: Sub-process /usr/bin/dpkg returned an error code (2)

I noted there was a lock file under var/cache/apt/archives and deb packages for libc6 and tzdata

In var/crash dir there were apport files for apt-get and postgresql_9.1

Following is trouble shooting output. I'll reboot and see if there were any changes.
