E: dpkg was interrupted, you must manually run 'sudo dpkg --configure -a' to correct the problem.

Simply navigate to Applications --> Accessories --> Terminal and copy/paste this in:

sudo dpkg --configure -a

Ah, I see you're using Xubuntu. In that case, do the same thing, but you'll have to get to the terminal in a different way.

Sorry my knowledge of Xfce isn't very broad.
