I was trying to install git-lfs on UBuntu 14.04 . There was some error , some steps which i did at random and dont remember the exact sequence of steps but am stuck at this .
Wherever i try to install any package , i get the below error -

I tried removing git-lfs by doing apt-get purge git-lfs , apt-get autoclean but nothing seems to help .
Please let me know how can the dpkg be fixed . I dont need git-lfs anymore , so i am ok to remove it completely .
Tried out the suggestions in Package system is broken. How to fix it? .

apt-get clean and apt-get update work but then the apt-get install -f fails. And i didnt have synaptic installed before this , so now not able to install any new package .
