After completeing sudo apt update, I had problems with apt upgrade which encountered the following error:

The following packages will be upgraded:
  tzdata
1 upgraded, 0 newly installed, 0 to remove and 0 not upgraded.
Need to get 0 B/266 kB of archives.
After this operation, 1,024 B of additional disk space will be used.

dpkg: error processing archive /var/cache/apt/archives/tzdata_2020e-0+deb10u1_all.deb (--unpack):

Errors were encountered while processing:
 /var/cache/apt/archives/tzdata_2020e-0+deb10u1_all.deb
E: Sub-process /usr/bin/dpkg returned an error code (1)

I have searched around for something similar but not found one. Not that familiar with linux... Would appreciate any help.

Maybe your apt cache for the downloaded packages is broken. You can try to reinitialize it. How to do it look at Raspberry Pi sudo apt-get update not working.
