Open a terminal window to get a command prompt. Hit ALT-F2 and enter 
"konsole" (without double quotes). Hit ENTER.

A terminal window with a blinking cursor starts. Type into that window:

 sudo dpkg --configure -a

(mind the spaces!) Hit ENTER. You should be asked for a password, so
enter your user password.
