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

Close down the update manager. Then, open a terminal and run
Applications -> Accessories -> Terminal
sudo dpkg --configure -a
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get upgrade

I was having the same problem (which your solution fixed - thanks!). What's likely to have caused it, and how do I prevent it from happening again?

You probably cancelled either update-manager or synaptic before it completed so you have to run that command to fix the broken packages.
