Hello,

Try to flush your package cache form the terminal first with:
sudo aptitude clean
If this doesn't work, then try the following commands in an effort to fix the package management system:
sudo dpkg --configure -a
sudo apt-get install -f

And please use a more descriptive title to your topic instead of the generic "need help" one.
