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

1. Open a terminal some how. Its usually called "terminal" in the menu.
2. Type 'su' hit enter, then the administrator password when prompted to get a root prompt
3. at the root prompt run the command
If this is confusing you should slow down and read up on basic linux administration before using Debian.
