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

To install it .. Please close any other update or installation.. You can only install one appliction at a time..

Do this
Code:
sudo dpkg --configure -a
sudo apt-get update

Then try installing the application :)
