From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).

Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

What must I do to unjam things?

I have tried many suggestions from various websites but they don't work because it looks like there is some sort of circular dependency going on here.

Seems like dpkg failed in configuring things in a previous update? Perhaps it was interrupted. You can try to run the configuration process again with:

sudo dpkg --configure -a

See if that helps.
