Hi,
When ever I run "sudo apt-get upgrade" I get the following errors:
Reading package lists... Done
Building dependency tree
Reading state information... Done
0 upgraded, 0 newly installed, 0 to remove and 0 not upgraded.
5 not fully installed or removed.
After this operation, 0 B of additional disk space will be used.

It seems procps is unconfigured. I have not managed to get it done. I have tried "sudo apt-get install -f" and "dpkg --configure --pending" and re-installing it with Synaptics without success.
Can you help?
What's your output of
cat /etc/dpkg/dpkg.cfg.d/multiarch
?
That doesn't make sense to me and apparently neither to dpkg. Edit the file as super user and put a # in front of the line.
Then try updating and upgrading.

Can anyone help me with this? The problem is related to procps and apport-gtk. I tried to install apache and it failed due to procps.
(Re)move /etc/dpkg/dpkg.cfg.d/multiarch and post here the output of 'sudo apt-get upgrade'.

You now have another error: "procps" is not properly configured. What happened if you try reinstalling that package?

I think the procps has been the cause for the problem for the whole time. I tried re-installing it with synaptics and "sudo apt-get -f install" but I just got the same old error message like above:

and

error: "Is a directory" setting key "vm.swappiness." sounds fishy, could be the source of the problems.
Let's try to find where it's set
grep swappiness /etc/sysctl.d/*.conf /etc/sysctl.conf

grep swappiness /etc/sysctl.d/*.conf /etc/sysctl.conf
/etc/sysctl.conf:vm.swappiness.=1
I recall writing this to the config file myself. I tried to improve system performance and protect my SSD. I don't recall, though, adding a period there.
Removed the period and run "sudo apt-get install -f". Problem solved. Thanks a lot for your help guys. I learned a lesson here: typos are a bad thing to have in configuration files.
Glad to hear that!
As they say, the devil is in the details. :)
