[SOLVED] Please help. dpkg interrupted

[thnikk]

I really hope im not posting in the wrong section, but I desperately need help. Every time I try to install anything, I get this.
E: dpkg was interrupted, you must manually run 'sudo dpkg --configure -a' to correct the problem.
E: _cache->open() failed, please report.Please, if anyone could help me out it would be greatly appreciated. Sorry, I am a complete noob with this.
