Parece que as informações meta em /var/lib/dpkg/info estão embaralhadas.
Para todos os pacotes problemáticos, tente reinstalá-los com: apt-get install --reinstall
por exemplo:
apt-get install --reinstall libservlet2.5-java libnm-glib-vpn1 \
network-manager libnm-glib4 activity-log-manager-control-center libnm-util2 \
libnspr4
Se libnm-util2 continuar a causar problemas, remova as informações meta:
rm /var/lib/dpkg/info/libnspr4{:,.}*
