My suggestion would be to open a terminal and try the following:

sudo -s
apt install -f
apt update
apt dist-upgrade -y

... to become root, fix any outstanding errors, and rerun the complete update.

If it works, then:

apt clean
apt autoclean
apt autoremove
apt purge

... and assuming all is well, then

shutdown -r now

... to reboot.
