errors packages

[hesse]

Hello, I use maya 13 mint mint while trying to update, there have been some update errors. He appeared also an error of "package damaged system." I tried to use the command apt-get-f install but were removed many packages lost many things, the system is also changed in starting up and shutting down appears purple screen with ubuntu 13. Maybe I missed also the management software updates to mint. What can I do to recover something? how can I update the system now, because I have always error like could not find packages. In the etc / apt / sources.list does not say anything. I was forgetting, every time I open the schell I always appears bash: / usr / bin / mint-fortune: No such file or directory.
