[ubuntu-studio-users] Problem with Synaptic

[Alex Armani]

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

So I close Synaptic, open up an Xfce Terminal,

alex at armani:~$ sudo dpkg --configure -a

and that is it, it just halts, as if in an infiinite toop. No error message or anything.. 
Aha, tia from Alex. 
PS I'd like to try The KDE Desktop next. How can I do this without Synaptic?
