Hi and welcome to Ask Ubuntu, Carter.

To fix this problem, I recommend installing Synaptic Package Manager. This is a tool that allows you to fix and diagnose problems with your packages graphically.

Install via the software center
Download Synaptic

How to use Synaptic Package Manager (Documentation)

From there, you are able to find broken packages. It should look something like this:

How to fix broken packages with Synaptic

Good luck.
