That's not good.

>From a shell:

sudo touch /forcefsck

Then reboot.

On reboot, do

sudo dpkg --configure -a

If that works, do:

sudo apt-get install -f

This should report no errors.

Then do:

sudo apt-get clean
sudo apt-get autoclean
sudo apt-get purge

Then

sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get dist-upgrade -y

This *should* sort out any disk corruption or package problems.
