Maybe the update manager is running in the background.

Applications -> Accessories -> Terminal

ps -A

I was installing Limewire and it while installing it froze so i cancelled it then i tried to install it again and that message showed up.

You probably still have dpkg or adept running in the background. Look at the output of this command to see if there is one.


ps -A
Otherwise, just reboot.

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