You can see below the error I encounter.
I did search on Google if the question has already been asked (and answered) but nothing works for me. I can't do sudo apt-get upgrade or install.
Thanks in advance if someone can help me with this situation.
Regards,
David

E: Sub-process /usr/bin/dpkg returned an error code (1)
The solution was to look at the /usr/share/doc/dictionaries-common/README.problems file as suggested by @Dubu.
1) running /usr/share/debconf/fix_db.pl as root
Look which templates were affected
2) diff -u /var/cache/debconf/config.dat{-old,} | grep ^[+-]Name
3) diff -u /var/cache/debconf/templates.dat{-old,} | grep ^[+-]Name
4) sudo dpkg-reconfigure dictionaries-common (This prints that the package is not installed or corrupted.)
5) sudo apt-get upgrade
Thanks again ;)
