At some point you had Adept Manager or Synaptic or aptitude or something running -- maybe there was a crash or hard reboot.

With all such things closed, try resetting with

sudo dpkg --configure -a

I think

sudo killall apt-get apt aptitude adept synaptic

should be enough.
It did not say anything about broken packages.

If Adept is running you can't use apt-get from the console.
