run this command

sudo dpkg --configure -a

then

sudo apt-get install -f
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get upgrade

and everything should be fine

Just to expand on what the above poster said, in case you don't understand it.

You need to type the above commands in a terminal. You can open a terminal by going to Aplications->Acessories->Terminal (I think, I'm not on an Ubuntu PC at the moment).

Applications > Accessories > Terminal

then run

sudo dpkg --configure -a

Then run

sudo apt-get update

thn

sudo apt-get upgrade

You shouldn't have to run -f install. It should just work.

I usually toss in the install -f because it doesn't hurt and will in some cases mean the OP doesn't need to post again. Just means they can move on with business faster...
