Make a note of any missing package(s). Since it is stopping with too
many errors, you may not be able to get all of them at first.
sudo apt-get <missing-package(s)>
sudo dpkg --configure -a
This will cause dpkg to try to configure any packages that are not
installed.
You may need to do this a number of times as missing dependencies are shown.
