I ran into the same problem and I followed PerJensen's steps, and this "seems" to have fixed my problem. I kind of wish I followed Drew's steps though. His steps are quite a bit simpler.
His workaround: 1. Reboot. (my machine didn't shutdown clearly and had to be powered off) 2. At grub menu choose kernel 2.6.22-14 (not 2.6.22-15) 3. Once booted run dpkg --configure -a 4. wait (it takes a while) 5.
