I keep having the same message come up when I try to update my computer. If someone can please help me, that would be great. Below is a copy of the message that I keep getting.

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

Go to the terminal Applications>Accessories>Terminal and at the prompt type
sudo dpkg --configure -a
You will be asked for your password, which will not appear in the terminal (no ***, etc., just a blank), and after typing that in, you will receive some messages. If additional errors are reported, please post them here.
