Errors were encountered while processing: tweakflashver
E: Sub-process /usr/bin/dpkg returned an error code (1)
and when Im trying to reinstall it this message

Can someone help me how to fix it?

edit: I solved my issue by doing a reboot, disabling extra-devel and trying to reinstall tweakflasher. It (re)installed and now it s working just nice.
