Right, jemate18 has got it, you need to run the program as root.

The problem that you had was most likely caused by an interruption (power outage, force quite) during and installation or upgrade.

Yes... because in some point, your update was interrupted or something...


Applications -> Accessories -> Terminal

Type

sudo dpkg --configure -a

I hope this solves it.....
