[SOLVED] Updates

[RMD94]

Hii

My problem is:
I can't install updates.... i get an error while trying to install the updates

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

I didn't log into Ubuntu for almost a month and i have upto 121 updates. The Last time i logged into Ubuntu i had installed VirtualBox and i think i am having problems cuz i installed Virtual Box...

Please Help Me!!

I am getting something

Unable to find a precompiled module for the current kernel!

Without a suitable kernel module you will never be able to start VMs. It
is strongly recommended to compile a kernel module now. The kernel
headers and the tools to build kernel modules (gcc, make, binutils, ...)
are required. However, in case a suitable kernel module already exists
at another place you might want to override the default position by
setting KDIR=<full_path_to_vboxdrv_module> in /etc/default/virtualbox.
The compilation can also be done later by executing

/etc/init.d/vboxdrv setup

as root.

plz help me!!

dpkg: requested operation requires superuser privilege

That error is saying you are not an admin. You need to run the command with a user that is an admin. Then enter in that user's password.
