Unable to run "apt-get -f install"

I'm trying to run sudo apt-get purge postgresql*, but I get a dependency error and a suggestion to run sudo apt-get -f install, so I try to run it which gives me:

It seems there is a problem with installer. This command should help:

sudo dpkg --configure -a

After this, you should be able to install required dependencies
