Hi Orion and thanks for your question.
It seems that you have closed package manager (such as Synaptic, Add&Remove Programs, Adept...) before it was ready to be closed - ie. you closed it or it crashed before the installation was complete. You can recover from this by opening your terminal (Gnome: Applications » Utilities » Terminal, KDE: K » System » Konsole) and typing following lines to it one by one:
sudo dpkg --configure -a
sudo apt-get -f install
When you confirm the first line by pressing Enter, you'll see a "Password:" prompt asking for your password. You will not see dots or stars as feedback while typing. When done, press Enter to continue.
If this doesn't solve your problem, please let us know.
NOTE: If this solves your problem, do not forget to mark this question as Solved. Thank you.

ok
I got synaptic to start and not close but I get another error message; You have 1 broken package on your system!
Use the "Broken" filter to locate it.
However I cant find any "broken" filter.
Any ideas?
thanx
