So, first of all:
1 - If you put external repo in sources.list I suggest you to make a fresh install. Please refer to Kali Repo documentation in case you have any doubt about that.

2 - run this command to update your Kali properly:
apt update ; apt full-upgrade -y ; apt autoremove -y

3- You can check id you kali is ok running this script: https://github.com/crashbrz/kalihealthcheck/

If there is something wrong, the script will show you. Fix it and run the command in #2 again.

Again, if you put any external repo, the best solution is to make a fresh install.

Ps: I think you attached a wrong screenshot.

So now seems you have a basic problem with packets.
Do the process again and put all the output in pastebin.

Also, you can remove the broken packets using dpkg. Check the dpkg documentation.

So, check it and as I told you, move this topic to https://forums.kali.org if you want because its not a kali issue.

I'm in kali irc channel you can call there. I will ask to close this post.
