What exactly does apt-get/aptitude say? Can you paste the output in
http://pastebin.ubuntu-uk.org so we can see it?

Usually when update manager barfs in these situations it asks you to
run:-

sudo dpkg --configure -a

Which will configure any pending packages.

You could give that a go, it wont do any harm if there's nothing for it
to do.

Cheers,
Al.
