First timer getting errors - kstar6 - 2012-04-13

I'm trying to install xbmc and after

apt-get update
i get this error

E: dpkg was interrupted, you must manually run 'dpkg --configure -a' to correct the problem.

so then i
dpkg --configure -a
and then i get this error message


dpkg: parse error, in file `/var/lib/dpkg/updates/0001' near line 1:
field name `?<??_3?B?AK?"' must be followed by colon

I'm trying to remember how to clear out a bad partial install, and I think if you clear out all the files in

/private/var/cache/apt/archives/

and run through the install instructions again, it should download the packages from scratch.
