The latest update messed up my laptop and also a fresh install on my Desktop. The problem was dependencies. I fixed the problem by using "apt-get install -f" which solved my problem and restored my system. It worked on my laptop and a fresh install on my Desktop.
the dependencies were for office, but it also messed up my home folder and Icons (Graphics). The above code straightened it out and it is now working fine. Going back to a older kernel did not help.
