cannot find a solution for these install errors
You have severe damage of your system. Below is the possible way to fix this situation on low level:
# create missed dpkg info directory
sudo mkdir /var/lib/dpkg/info/
# create missed dpkg alternatives directory
sudo mkdir /var/lib/dpkg/alternatives
# recreate other directories as well
sudo mkdir /var/lib/dpkg/{parts,triggers,updates}
# update package lists
sudo apt-get update
# install missed debconf package
sudo apt-get install debconf
# reinstall all currently installed packages to correctly fill /var/lib/dpkg/info/
sudo apt-get install --reinstall $(dpkg -l | grep ^ii | awk '{print $2}')
