dpkg - Why can't I perform software updates? (Ubuntu 16.04 LTS)

I am a new linux user, I've only been using linux for about three months. Recently, I noticed that whenever my software updater prompted me to update, after it tried to update the new software it would give an error message telling me the operation failed. I've tried using the command line to fix the solution, but whatever I try I repeatedly get these error messages:




~$ sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get dist-upgrade -y
