Please follow steps 1-4 at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/PackageManagerTroubleshootingProcedure. That may solve the problem. If it doesn't, then please post the results here (rather than starting a new question), and please also make sure to specify *what* the problem is. (Your question contained the error, which is important information, but it did not contain an explanation of what action you were performing or attempting to perform when it occurred, or a specification of what program it occurred in.)
