Hi Cyberzod, and thank you for your report. Please try the following in
a terminal and let us know if it resoves your error:

  $ sudo apt-get clean
  $ sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get upgrade

If you still end up with the same error, try:

  $ sudo dpkg --configure -a
  $ sudo apt-get -f install

Please let us know what happens. Many thanks!
Gary
