Note: the error you have might be related to Corrupt packages in your local cache, please execute the following command to fix it:

sudo apt-get clean

man apt-get

clean
      clean clears out the local repository of retrieved package files.
      It removes everything but the lock file from
      /var/cache/apt/archives/ and /var/cache/apt/archives/partial/.

You can upgrade libdns162 package using the following command:

sudo apt-get install --only-upgrade libdns162

Note that before performing the package upgrade you might need to execute:

sudo apt-get update

Thanks but it didn't help. I edited my post with the output I got. – OcK Jan 24 '18 at 12:15
@OcK - happy that it helped :) Note that it easier to solve the errors you have - when they are mentioned in the question :) – Yaron Jan 24 '18 at 12:23
