nevermind fixed already.

Don't do this for christs sake. Tell us what you did to solve the issue. I'm having the same problem and when searching and I find someone with the same issue only to find "fixed it! haha!" and no solution it drives me mad.

If you're having problems updating in Ubuntu do this:

Remove the file nitrux-icon-theme.list in /var/lib/dpkg/info/, and update your package cache. The packages have been fixed so remove that file, remove the package (use apt-get purge), update the package cache and re-install.

That did it, thank you.
