我希望有人能帮助我找出我遇到的问题，并解释为什么会发生这种情况。
当我尝试安装/更新/升级任何东西时出现以下错误：
~$ sudo apt-get upgrade
[sudo] password for dod:
Reading package lists... Done

Reading state information... Done
Calculating upgrade... Done
0 to upgrade, 0 to newly install, 0 to remove and 0 not to upgrade.

当我尝试解决问题并安装其他软件时，遇到错误的软件列表会增加。
我尝试了这篇好文章中列出的许多修复方法https://journalxtra.com/linux/fixing-the-dreaded-errors-were-encountered-while-processing-errors/但到目前为止，什么都没起作用。每次尝试似乎都因错误而停止，整个过程似乎是一个恶性循环。
有人能帮我解决这个问题吗？我绝对不是 Linux 新手，但这超出了我的能力。
任何帮助或建议都将受到欢迎。
