Thank you for submitting this report. There is a possible workaround for this issue.

Please open a Terminal from the menu Applications->Accessories->Terminal and type or copy and paste the row below:

sudo dpkg --configure -a

give your user password when requested, you don't see nothing when you type it, then press enter.
