An error occured
The following details are provided:

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

AS A Newby Can anybody help me with what to do?

Open a terminal and type or cut and paste the following:

sudo dpkg_ _configure-a

It will ask you for your password - just type in your password and wait until it is done. Then go back into Synaptic and install gstreamer.

Enjoy!

I tried that but got this messageatrick@patrick-desktop:~$ sudo dpkg_ _configure-a
sudo: dpkg_: command not found

[cozmicharlie]

Didn't notice this but the command should be:

sudo dpkg --configure -a

not

sudo dpkg _ _configure -a
