Unable to install or uninstall any package through both terminal and software center.

You might want to run 'apt-get -f install' to correct these:
The following packages have unmet dependencies:
 aptdaemon : Depends: python3-aptdaemon (= 1.1.1-1ubuntu5.1) but 1.1.1-1ubuntu5 is to be installed
 ubuntu-release-upgrader-core : Depends: python3-distupgrade (= 1:0.220.6) but 1:0.220.2 is to be installed
 ubuntu-release-upgrader-gtk : Depends: python3-distupgrade (= 1:0.220.6) but 1:0.220.2 is to be installed
E: Unmet dependencies. Try 'apt-get -f install' with no packages (or specify a solution).

Tried

sudo apt-get -configure -a 

also fixing broken dpendencies through aptitude. But, get the same error Also tried executing,

sudo apt-get -f install

But it gave errors like:

Could not find platform dependent libraries <exec_prefix>

Fatal Python error: Py_Initialize: Unable to get the locale encoding
