Trusty to Xenial

I just upgraded from 14.04 LTS to 16.04 LTS and I got this when I first upgraded:

Errors were encountered while processing:
 dbus
 console-setup
 keyboard-configuration
 initscripts
 console-setup-linux
 util-linux

Now I get this with any attempt to install other packages:

A package failed to install.  Trying to recover:

All attempts that I've made to remedy this have turned up nothing. lsb-base shows as "iu" in aptitude. I'm no expert and I have a backup so I can roll back but I'd love to just fix it if it is a quick fix.
