I'm not really sure what caused this to happen, but after trying to remove some packages on my system that I no longer need, which failed, I get the following message everytime I try to install or remove anything, or even use dselect or aptitude as root to update my list of available packages:
E: dpkg was interrupted, you must manually run 'dpkg --configure -a' to correct the problem.
E: _cache->open() failed, please report.
That error message came from the Add/Remove GUI, but I get similar ones from just about all package management systems, such as this one from dpkg --configure -a (as root):
dpkg: parse error, in file `/var/lib/dpkg/updates/0032' near line 1:
newline in field name `#padding'

To be honest, I have no idea how to fix this, and it is rather annoying to be unable to install or uninstall anything. I would really appreciate it if anyone could help me fix this problem. The attached file is a list of software that was being removed at the time.
