Bug Description

Binary package hint: aptdaemon

Want to install virtual Box
When attempting to run Synaptic Package Manager the following occurred
           'an error occured'
    The following details are provided:
    E: dpkg was interrupted,you must manually run 'sudo dpkg-configure-a'
      to correct the problem.
    E:_cache->open() failed, please report.

Opened terminal and ran the above as requested.
     sudo dpkg-configure-a: command not found
Re-ran: ~$ sudo dpkg configure-a
dpkg: error: need an action option

Type dpkg --help for help about installing and deinstalling packages [*];
Use `dselect' or `aptitude' for user-friendly package management;
Type dpkg -Dhelp for a list of dpkg debug flag values;
Type dpkg --force-help for a list of forcing options;
Type dpkg-deb --help for help about manipulating *.deb files;

Options marked [*] produce a lot of output - pipe it through `less' or `more' !

Retried using Ubuntu software center
    Same result as above.
