Found this:

This error indicates that you (or some program/script) changed the
 permissions of the file /var/lib/dpkg/status. Please change them back
 via: "sudo chmod 644 /var/lib/dpkg/status" in order to fix the issue.

I ended up opening terminal:

    sudo nautilus

navigating to the folders/files, and changing permissions to

> ME - FOLDER:FULL ACCESS / FILES: READ WRITE

> ROOT - FOLDER: FULL ACCESS / FILES: READ ONLY
