dpkg interrupted

[Cecil Underwood]

Binary package hint: nautilus

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

When I seek to "Install Update", the above is the error message I receive. How do I correct this error? Where do I find the "Run" command with GUI? This MiniNote w/Linux is new for me. I desire to learn it.

Thank you for your response.
