this is exactly what it says to me when I try and update:
E: dpkg was interrupted, you must manually run 'dpkg --configure -a' to correct the problem.
E: _cache->open() failed, please report.

Try opening a terminal and typing:
sudo dpkg --configure -a
Usually you have to run this command if something went wrong with a past install e.g. it got interrupted before it could finish
