Trouble downloading things on Ubuntu.

Every time I try to download something like a plugin to watch a video I get this error: E: dpkg was interrupted, you must manually run 'dpkg --configure -a' to correct the problem. E: _cache->open() failed, please report. I don't what that means. How can I fix this? I also get this error when I try to open up Synaptic package manager. thanks

Hope this answer isn't too late...
 
Dpkg is the software package manager for Debian based systems, and it seems to things that is has a problem.
 
Have you opened a console and tried the suggested command?  What does it tell you?
The command should look something like this:
 
sudo dpkg --configure -a
 
Let us know if you still need help...
