I'm unable to update my system Ubuntu 14.04 as software updater isn't running. Also I'm unable to run Ubuntu software center. All these problems arose after I tried to do partial upgrade of my system. I was as such updating my system but it messaged that some applications can be updated only after I do partial upgrade. I clicked on 'partial upgrade' option but it didn't happen successfully. A message was displayed
After that I'm unable to run software updater, Ubuntu software center etc.

I ran the above commands twice because 1st time it failed to fetch data. Now also the issue isn't resolved as I'm still unable to open the applications.
