From this tutorial:
Method 1: Reconfigure Package Database
The first method you can try is to reconfigure the package database. Probably the database got corrupted while installing a package. Reconfiguring often fixes the problem.
sudo dpkg --configure -a
Method 2: Use fix broken
If a package installation was interrupted previously, you may use the install -f options to automatically attempt to correct a system with broken dependencies in place.
sudo apt-get install -f
Method 3: Try removing the troublesome package
If it’s not an issue for you, you may try to remove the package manually. Please don’t do it for Linux Kernels (packages starting with linux-).
sudo apt remove package_name
Method 4: Remove post info files of the troublesome package
This should be your last resort. You can try removing the files associated to the package in question from /var/lib/dpkg/info.
