Bhavani Shankar suggests this article as an answer to your question:
FAQ #52: “Can't install new software and updates”.

This answer resulted in the system not being able to find the function --configure-a and nothing occurred to correct the problem
Please open a Terminal from the menu Applications-
sudo dpkg --configure -a
Then do also, to upgrade your system using command line:
sudo apt-get -f install
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get upgrade
give your user password when requested, you don't see nothing when you type it, then press enter.
Hope this helps
