I have installed UBUNTU 8.10 Desktop Edition by partitioning my hard disk .
Whenever I try to play audio on my PC , a window opens up prompting to install media plugins. When I try to install media plugin ,a error message is displayed as

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

I had earlier installed the same version in WUBI mode.There it worked perfectly well.

Please help correct this problem.
