For example when I try to install libnlopt-dev, it gives the following error:

$ sudo apt-get install libnlopt-dev

E: The package apport needs to be reinstalled, but I can't find an archive for it.

When I try to dist-upgrade, I get the following error:

$ sudo apt-get dist-upgrade

E: The package apport needs to be reinstalled, but I can't find an archive for it.

And also sudo dpkg --configure -a gives the following error:
