terminal update unable to complete

[cliftonw]

Was trying to update software using sudo apt-get update and it failed to complete. Tried to update using software updater and it could not complete either informing me to sudo apt install -f neither were able to resolve the situation. Also informed to disconnect third part repositories. Did so but still the issue remained. Now writing this bug report.
