Personally I would have stopped when the 1st command failed! :¬)

And yes, knowing this stuff helps. It's analagous to knowing how to
change the oil in your car/motorbike. But many don't -- they just go
to a dealer. That is OK, too.

I would suggest just removing the errant file, or rather, renaming it.

cd /var/lib/dpkg
sudo mv status status.broken

Then retry the rest from there..
