Hi im new to this group.But I have had that problem on install before. You can try booting in recovery mode and chose to pick fix broken fll es. That may finish installing the missing files. It shows you what to do. If that don't work you drop down to root and do sudo apt-get update and sudo apt-get upgrade. Hope this helps.
