I've been having trouble updating Zorin for some time, but I found that the following solution (from Ubuntu forum) solved my problem. Posting here in case it helps anyone else as I couldn't find anything here on this.

Code:
sudo apt-get autoclean
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get upgrade
sudo apt-get -u dist-upgrade


Then run

Code:
sudo dpkg --configure -a
sudo apt-get -f install

I'd be wary of the 'upgrade' command as this could break Zorin by including Ubuntu updates to the system - the main things you need are:

Code:
sudo apt-get autoremove && sudo apt-get update && sudo ap-get dist-upgrade


You only need to -f force packages if there was a problem installing.

And let's not forget the key item - change your software sources from your Locale to 'Main Server' in Software Updater / Settings button. ;) :D
