Just open a terminal (assuming you're running Gnome desktop):

Applications -> Accessories -> Terminal

If you're positioned behind a proxy server, run this first in your terminal:

export http_proxy="http://<proxy_user>:<proxy_password>@<proxy_server>:<proxy_port>/"

where:

proxy_user == proxy user ID supplied by proxy server admin
proxy_password == proxy password supplied by proxy server admin
proxy_server == proxy URL, something like proxy.c0m
proxy_port == likely port 3128, but your proxy port could be different

and run the command as mentioned above:

sudo dpkg --configure -a

Most likely your original install broke because of authentication.

Let us know how it goes :)
