when i hit the install updates icon it comes with an error reading:

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

what do i do to fix this problem?

You do what it says!

Open a terminal, type in

sudo dpkg --configure -a
Type your password and let it do it's thing. That's it :)!

Hope this helps :P
