Hi, I don't believe that this is a bug... just a support problem.
Enter this into a terminal:
sudo dpkg --configure -a

and it should be fixed. Please post if it was or wasn't.

To solve your problem just open terminal (Applications→Accesories→Terminal) and run "sudo dpkg --configure -a" (without quotation marks).
