Hi,

Try to run the update from a terminal (Accessories / Terminal), enter the following commands:

  sudo aptitude update
  [sudo] password for user:

  give your user password when requested, you don't see nothing when you type it, then press enter.

If you see this message :
 E: dpkg was interrupted, you must manually run 'dpkg --configure -a' to correct the problem.

Try to run:
  sudo dpkg --configure -a

Then:
  sudo aptitude update
  sudo aptitude upgrade

Regards
