It seems there was a problem while upgrading; please do the following:

1) Open a terminal (Applications -> Acessories -> Terminal)
2) Run

sudo dpkg --configure -a

and wait till it finishes. After that you may close the terminal.
3) Now, if everything went well, you'll be able to install / remove / upgrade software =)
