Issue the following command from the terminal (Applications -> Accesories -> Terminals)
cd /var/lib/dpkg/info
sudo rm libxcb-shape0.list
sudo apt-get --reinstall install libxcb-shape0
Updates should now work. Not a great out-of-the-box experience, really

Would have thought Dell would be interested in how their laptops work out-of-the-box though
