So I have docker installed on Linux Mint 18.3 (dual-boot with Windows 7) and I can run and work with the containers without an issue. However, ever since I installed it, I keep getting errors while I try to upgrade my packages.

I removed docker and did a clean install, to no avail. I'm not really sure what to try next and I couldn't find a solution that works for me so far. Any help would be welcome!

This is a difficult state to get out of. You should be able to complete the removal if you create a fake init script:
sudo touch /etc/init.d/mongodb
sudo chmod 755 /etc/init.d/mongodb
This is due to some corruption within the package manager dpkg itself, this thread from Ask Ubuntu: https://askubuntu.com/questions/195950/package-system-broken-e-sub-process-usr-bin-dpkg-returned-an-error-code-1 lists some solutions, more specifically the editing of the status file has been noted as one that always works.
For mongodb v3.4
sudo touch /etc/init.d/mongod
sudo chmod 755 /etc/init.d/mongod
You can force installation of package:
sudo dpkg -i --force-all /var/cache/apt/archives/mongodb-org-tools_3.6.5_amd64.deb
Then resume with:
sudo apt-get install -f
sudo nano /var/lib/dpkg/statoverride
Then remove first 2 line entries and try again
**mongodb mongodb 755 /var/log/mongodb
mongodb mongodb 755 /var/lib/mongodb**
root crontab 2755 /usr/bin/crontab
root mlocate 2755 /usr/bin/mlocate
root ssl-cert 710 /etc/ssl/private
root messagebus 4754 /usr/lib/dbus-1.0/dbus-daemon-launch-helper
According to your question, this process will be break at line.
invoke-rc.d: unknown initscript, /etc/init.d/mongodb not found.
You must be create fake file,
sudo touch /etc/init.d/mongodb
sudo chmod 755 /etc/init.d/mongodb
and process will complete.
