should anyone else end up with this issue it seems i fixed it, ran: sudo apt-get install python-picamera python3-picamera python-rpi.gpio it said I had to run: sudo dpkg --configure -a so I did and then ran the code listed in the post above: sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get upgrade and then happi...

I have the exact same problem but the solution listed didnt work for me. It took a very long time and then reset itself and then repeated the error message upon my retrying the run the python program.

also note, im crazy new at this but do have other programming knowledge(ish)
