What the other answer says.
In rather more detail: I'd suggest firstly, you do an APT clean-up, and then secondly, you do a full system upgrade from the shell.
1: Clean-up
sudo apt-get clean
sudo apt-get autoclean
sudo apt-get purge
sudo apt-get autoremove -y
2: Full update
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get dist-upgrade -y
Then reboot. I suspect you'll find your errors in the GUI update tool will have gone. I'd had similar issues with Mint's GUI updater myself & now I preferentially use the shell.
