Issue the following command from the terminal (Applications -> Accesories -> Terminals)

 

cd /var/lib/dpkg/info
sudo rm libxcb-shape0.list
sudo apt-get --reinstall install libxcb-shape0

Updates should now work.  Not a great out-of-the-box experience, really

This is the main thread reporting the issue

The bug is raised here

Would have thought Dell would be interested in how their laptops work out-of-the-box though
