Please try it in terminal. Run terminal by Application-->Accessories and copy-paste there

sudo apt-get update

You'll be asked for your password; when typing it you will see nothing - it's normal - then hit Enter, copy the otuput and paste it in your answer here.

Open a Terminal from the menu Applications → Accessories → Terminal and type:
(if the system ask you a password give your user password, you will not see nothing when you type it, then press enter)

sudo dpkg --clear-avail

sudo dpkg --configure --pending
sudo dpkg --configure -a

then to update and upgrade and also check pending or missing packages, still using terminal type:

sudo apt-get -f install
sudo apt-get --fix-missing install
sudo apt-get clean
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get upgrade
sudo apt-get dist-upgrade
sudo apt-get clean
sudo apt-get autoremove

Hope this helps
