Not sure... maybe the file has been corrupted somehow or is not present
anymore.

Anyway, is that file name correct? I cannot find any reference to that
"libwins.so" in the whoooole Goooogle :-)

Review your "/var/log/apt/term.*" files to find any hint about where that
file comes from. I cannot find any reference to it in any place :-?

Amongst other stuff, it gives

Any idea why all these packages could be broken?
