Thank you for taking the time to report this bug and helping to make Ubuntu better. Package managers include apt and aptitude in the terminal, as well as the Software Center, and Synaptic. Only one of these can be running at a time, so please confirm whether or not you have more than one of these open. Can you also please let us know when you are encountering the dpkg error?
