It's been a long time since this happened to me but I believe you need to resolve that half installed package by doing 

sudo dpkg --configure -a
sudo apt-get update

This will try install the cached package. (util-linux)

  • well after ran the command above the result is : `dpkg: dependency problems prevent processing triggers for systemd: systemd depends on util-linux (>= 2.27.1); however: Package util-linux is not installed.

    dpkg: error processing package systemd (--configure): dependency problems - leaving triggers unprocessed Errors were encountered while processing: systemd `
