Hello

To correct this problem just open Terminal (Applications → Accessories → Terminal) and type:

sudo dpkg --configure -a

give your user password when requested, you don't see nothing when you type it, then press enter.

Then to dress pending packages please type:

sudo apt-get install -f

Then retry to update and/or to install desired package

Hope it helps

Bhavani Shankar.
