Ok I had a security update and it seemed to clash with something I had installed and now I have a corrupted file preventing me from updating. I'm a noob to linux so I don't know how to fix this. I've looked all over and found several people with a similar problem but none of the fixes would work for me.
This guy seems to have the same problem as me except I'm on a ubuntu 14.04 32-bit. I'm not having the same issue with Clang I don't even know what that is. So I don't know how to change the fix for my needs.
Running the command sudo apt-get -f install I get this in the terminal. Someone recommended that command as a fix before but it doesn't work.

EDIT: Nevermind I managed to figure out a solution myself since no one seemed to know how to answer this problem. I noticed the error code line I posted had the same directory path as the solution in the link I provided. Except it was for my version of ubuntu so I pasted the code and got this.
sudo dpkg -i --force-overwrite /var/cache/apt/archives/libllvm3.8v4_1%3a3.8-2ubuntu3~trusty4_i386.deb
Then I ran sudo apt-get -f install and now it's finally fixed.
