You have to trick over this problem. Remove the problematic file-list, reinstall the package by:

sudo rm /var/lib/dpkg/info/policykit-desktop-privileges.list

sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install --reinstall policykit-desktop-privileges

then fix three other mentioned packages by

sudo apt-get install --reinstall libqt5webkit5:amd64
sudo apt-get install --reinstall libsamplerate0:amd64 
sudo apt-get install --reinstall libsane-hpaio:amd64

then install all upgrades for current release

sudo apt-get upgrade # upgrade packages
sudo apt-get dist-upgrade # upgrade packages with all new dependencies

and then consider upgrading to 18.04 LTS as was recommended in comments.
