Can't install anything, bad libsqlite3-0:amd64

[SteveRiley]

I'd advise against downgrading.

Updates are always good to leave enabled. They have been through testing and there's generally no reason not to accept them. Disabling the update repository, after allowing a few packages to be updated, will cause exactly the kind of problem you encountered.

cannot reinstall

3. Forcibly remove the existing 64-bit version:

sudo dpkg --force-depends --purge libsqlite3-0:amd64

5. Manually install the 64-bit version:

sudo dpkg --install libsqlite3-0*amd64.deb

I know it's an old thread but from google, this is the only thing similar to my issue, I tried to reinstall libsqlite3 but getting error below, any help would be greatly appreciated. Before this, I had issue with apt-get update and had to rename /var/lib/dpkg/status-old to /var/lib/dpkg/status. Thank you
