Unable to do Updates
 

I have a update file comprising 38 updates. When I click the update icon it begins, then stops and says I must enter "dpkg-configure-a."
Using Terminal as superuser when I enter the command response is "do not recognize" or "not possible."

Any HELP anyone? :confused:

I'm running Ubuntu 8.1 abd Firefox 3.

Thanks for reading.
