Answer 1

This may work.

sudo dpkg --clear-avail
sudo apt-get update

It may also not. You also need to check your file system for errors, and make sure your only using repos that are for your version of Ubuntu.

I would start with the above commands, then if that still doesn't work, have a look here for restoring your apt database.

You can also try (very dangerous)

sudo mv /var/lib/dpkg/updates /root/
sudo apt-get update
sudo mkdir /var/lib/dpkg/updates
sudo chmod 755 /var/lib/dpkg/updates

Assuming your back on track you can then remove the copy of updates in /root/updates
