    Unhappy cant download packages

    When I run the package/download manager I keep getting this error message:

    E: dpkg was interrupted, you must manually run 'dpkg --configure -a' to correct the problem. E: _cache->open() failed, please report.

    I don't know what that means or what to do! Help please!
