Typically this error arises when there are some inconsistencies with distribution packages and dependencies.
To resolve this, you'll first need to boot into Rescue Mode, following these instructions:
https://www.linode.com/docs/guides/rescue-and-rebuild/#booting-into-rescue-mode
Once in Rescue Mode, run the commands below:
# Mount the root disk
mount -o exec,barrier=0 /dev/sda /media/sda
# Mount the temporary filesystems
cd /media/sda
mount -t proc proc proc/
mount -t sysfs sys sys/
mount -o bind /dev dev/
mount -t devpts pts dev/pts/
# Chroot into your disk
chroot /media/sda /bin/bash
# Configure all unconfigured packages
dpkg --configure -a
After you're finished, boot back into your regular configuration by rebooting your Linode, and the issue should (hopefully) be resolved!
