Updating from terminal 16.04

friends
I am trying to update and upgrade the packages in Ubuntu 16.04.
I got this:
dpkg: error processing package python-cryptography (--configure):
package is in a very bad inconsistent state; you should
reinstall it before attempting configuration
Errors were encountered while processing:
python-cryptography
I tried: sudo apt-get install --reinstall dpkg
I got this:
Reading package lists... Done
Building dependency tree
Reading state information... Done
You might want to run 'apt-get -f install' to correct these:
The following packages have unmet dependencies:
python-cryptography : Depends: python-asn1crypto but it is not going to be inst alled
Depends: python-idna (>= 2.1) but 2.0-3 is to be installe d
Breaks: python-openssl (< 16.0.0) but 0.15.1-2build1 is t o be installed
E: Unmet dependencies. Try 'apt-get -f install' with no packages (or specify a s olution).
Someone give a hand?
Thanks.

The package having issues is python-cryptography , NOT dpkg. dpkg is fine.
Try doing:
sudo apt-get -f install
If that fails, then try:
sudo dpkg --configure -a

@AnandArun are you sure you put sudo before? Otherwise it seems that one apt/dpkg command is still running. Only one program dpkg/apt/synaptic, etc can access the dpkg database, so running two commands simultaneously will give that error (13: Permission denied). Try rebooting and issuing the command again. Or try killing/closing any other program accessing database.
