i picked up this same issue today ..

trying to update via terminal, it stops with:

E: dpkg was interrupted, you must manually run 'sudo dpkg --configure
-a' to correct the problem.

then tried in update manager and got the same message.

output in terminal of:

~$ sudo dpkg --configure -a

Setting up initramfs-tools (0.92bubuntu64) ...
update-initramfs: deferring update (trigger activated)

Processing triggers for initramfs-tools ...

update-initramfs: failed for /boot/initrd.img-2.6.32-12-generic
dpkg: subprocess installed post-installation script returned error exit status 1


trying to open synaptic also gives me:

E: _cache->open() failed, please report.
