LMDE won't update (Broken Packages :\)

When I try to use mintUpdate, I get the error:
"Could not apply changes!
Fix broken packages first."

So I did the following in terminal:

Code: Select all

sudo apt-get update

Code: Select all

sudo apt-get autoclean

Code: Select all

sudo apt-get clean

Code: Select all

sudo apt-get update

Code: Select all

sudo apt-get upgrade
Found 500 or so packages to upgrade, so I let it download them all, and when it finished, I looked at terminal and it was at a screen that looked something like this:

Code: Select all

~
~
~
~
~
~
~
~
~
~
~
~
(END)
And I couldn't do anything, so I closed terminal.
I then ran:

Code: Select all

sudo apt-get install -f
in terminal, and tried again on mintUpdate

Still the error, what must I do D:
